A varied vintage page blends poems about April rain with brisk prose and anecdotes. It blends a lyric meditation on April showers with social vignettes, short humorous anecdotes, and brief commentary on literature and manners. The pieces mention a tinker's trade, Swedish history, and a Paris advertising note alongside rustic rural scenes.
Hon Linton Stephens denounces the new Georgia constitution before Richmond County’s Democratic Club. He argues it subverts free government, mocks merit in voting rights, and dangers political equality by elevating universal manhood suffrage. He warns Congress and Northern radicals threaten state sovereignty, highlights race and class bias, and urges rejecting ratification to preserve constitutional representative government.
A fiery pamphlet accuses supporters of ratification of the relief act of treason and deceit. The speaker denounces Governor Bullock and Judge Irekine, warns debtors under federal bankruptcy law, and urges readers to vote against ratification to protect state sovereignty and honor.
