Labor and charity, travel notes, and an obituary column
A period essay extols earning a living and self reliance while urging tact in guiding children to useful tasks. The piece praises the American Bible Society’s century of distributing scriptures. It ends with an obituary for Preston Prior Melton and a long travelogue recounting a Moreau River outing to Jefferson City with remarks on roads, locals, and experiences.
