Gone Wet Special to the Gamer Exoxvite Test
A wide range of political and social notices fill the page. Reports mention Tennessee rainfall estimates in East, Middle, and West regions, with figures around eighteen thousand and twenty to twenty-five thousand. The piece also notes political conjecture about Mr. Harding of Iowa as a presidential candidate, religious tensions in Charlotte, and the President’s travel plans including a stop in Chattanooga. Additional items cover Prohibitionist actions, Chicago anarchists, a Texas negro uprising, and various legal and maritime matters. The breadth shows a lively late 19th century public notice page with names like Butler, Pryor, Woods, Sharp, and Paine, plus references to Gov. Gordon and the Georgia Legislature.
