Arithmetic of Subscriptions and Moral Tales From the South
Advertisements discuss a one year subscription for two dollars in advance or four dollars prepaid in some regions. A temperance anecdote about Adam and Mary illustrates how a minister’s drinking habits impact family behavior, ending with a moral where Adam becomes a drunkard after following the minister’s example and Mary hides him under a bed when the minister returns. The piece also notes Gov. John B. Mason, the Mexican Times editor, and various tax stamp schedules and legal paper duties, including rates for mortgages, bonds, checks, and conveyances.
