The Carrollton Advocate lists subscription at two dollars per year with postpaid delivery. It details advertising rates for business cards and notices, monthly/quarterly space changes, and deadlines, noting charges for delinquent insertions and that personal notices cost extra.
A dated legal note outlines subscriber obligations to notify publishers to stop service, or risk continued charges. It cites court rulings that refusal to take papers or moving preserves evidence of intent to defraud and cites postmaster liability for non delivery. The piece closes with a long Kentucky poem about hunting and war legends.
A chaotic recollection of New Year resolutions to quit beer, the narrator’s strange obsessions with beer and partying friends, a wild spree with fake babies and twins, multiple taverns visited, and a realization that no babies were born among the circle except one couple’s. Interleaved are odd anecdotes about onions sprouted in boiling water and a tale of self restraint.
