Two Brothers and a Bale of Cotton Fire Incident
A report from Waynesboro describes two brothers delivering a cotton bale when a spark from a pipe ignited it. They smothered the flames, rolled the bale into a creek, but the fire rekindled and consumed the cotton. They continued their journey, reflecting on the incident amid local commentary. The Nashville dispatch includes remarks from President Cleveland about not mockery of poorer dress and a Tennessee gubernatorial note on pardoning convicts under seventeen. The Mississippi issues discuss county officer nominations and Democratic strategy amid party tensions.
