It mentions a large mule sale in America, a North Carolina constitutional amendment ruling, a caution about insects in sunshine, a lady who refuses to wear a watch, and remarks on emperors and fortunes amid reports of extensive damage from recent weather.
A mixed summary notes plans to sell goods including 6 000 barbels one corn and 100 000 pounds of bacon and bulk meat, mentions a presumed sale of land near a prison, and shifts to a report on Georgia penitentiary deaths.

An Americus to Fort Gaines dispute over a personal quarrel escalated Friday with arrests of Dr J A Fort and Mr Barkhalter. Fort fled toward the field while Barkhalter faced pursuit.
