A sprawling column of scattered items lists arrivals and departures, prices, sales, and public notices. It notes residents returning from Rock Hill and Jonesboro, multiple merchants advertising goods and cheap clothing, and calls for dried berries and fruit jars. It mentions upcoming services, a nurse’s cholera infantum remedy, a railroad update toward Damascus, and a missing precise date for several events.
Various local notices include a free drawing on unpresented ticket 1070, help wanted for a literate boy, a found pocket book, sermons at Patton's Chapel, the death and burial of Dr. M. M. Martin, lumber for sale by J D Woodruff, a dissolution notice for Gump & Co, a new school opening by Mrs. G Heuser, a death and funeral of Mrs. Bates, delinquent tax list update and statutory tax collection mandates, plus local ads for goods and shirts.
