A 1870 notice details subscription rates in advance for one copy at 1.50 for six months and three months at 1.00, with policy that paper continues unless the publisher opts to discontinue after notice and all arrears are paid, and that removing paper without notice does not discontinue and incurs charges to arrears.
A fragment describes local ad rates for notices, then critiques Republican/Radical leaders over county debt and misused funds. It cites soldiers relief, court costs, and attorney fees, alleging mismanagement and calls for reform by removing Radical leaders from power. It mentions debt estimates and tax impact from 1865.
The piece argues that residents pay a hidden tariff tax far higher than state and local levies. It presents a hypothetical Corydon example showing how duties on shoes, nails, and textiles funnel money to manufacturers and monopolists, not public needs, urging voters to reject Republican candidates and demand fair taxation.
A political argument warns that radical counties populate juries supervisors and constables with black voters to secure GOP support and influence in schools and taxation. The piece urges voting Republican to place black officials and end racial mixing in schools, then pivots to a religious exhortation about following Christ.
