Georgia March 26 1868 letter denounces a new negro constitution as a device to cheat creditors and wreck private contracts.

A Chicago Press excerpt retells a melodramatic Civil War tale. John Edwards deserts home to serve, leaving his wife to remarry a man named Waller who becomes stepfather to her child. The first husband returns, meets the second husband, and a curious triad forms.

Meanwhile a Virginia bank relief program aids about a thousand people in bank debt settlement.
A moral essay urges mothers to model truth and composure in raising children, warning that gentle firmness and steadfast truth shape a child's character.
