Fragmentary OCR notes reference odd phrases and misread names about values and measures. The garbled text mentions a bottle of Bophington Sraeh Mes and a claim of restoration of voice power through a “weak from over axeccion” cure.
A local listing advertises yardage of Velveteens Black Cashmere Hose Calico and Hoary Cotton Shirting with prices per yard and per item. It notes specials on Youths Knicker Trousers and Gent's Under Flannels, plus household goods and slippers. The notice mentions security clearance details and a sale by Bucsey Bilin and Co with various suppliers.
Local notices reference unclear events with scattered names and places. The fragmented text hints at public affairs but omits decisive details, leaving readers to infer missing context from partial clues and damaged phrasing.
