The Appeal in Cuthbert announces a postage paid offer to place the publication within reach of every family in the region. New subscribers in this and adjoining counties can receive the paper free until January 1, 1877.
A wide reader appeal invites neighbors to donate one dollar to receive the APrEAL regularly and cheaply. The item lists local notes from Miller and Early counties on corn scarcity, deaths, fairs, railroad work, and political chatter including Gov. Smith’s reelection stance and regional loyalties. It notes overcrowding at the Georgia Insane Asylum with seventy admissions and reports on various incidents, values, and events across Atlanta and the state.
A Augusta Constitutionalist correspondent lauds the University Publishing Company and Capt. Kendrick for strengthening Southern publishing with the University series. He cites endorsements from Georgia schools and likens its textbooks to top northern offerings, urging boards nationwide to trial the works by Maury, Gildersleeve, Schele de Vere, Venable, Holmes, and others.
The article recalls Mr. Stewart's fifty one year marriage to Cornelia Clinch, their heirs, and his Fifth Avenue mansion’s hospitality. It highlights Meissonier’s Charge des Cuirassiers, bought for about 75000 dollars, and a note from the artist in 1876. It also mentions a Columbus mill project in Georgia, Mobile cotton efforts, and Stewart’s estate valued near fifty million.
The Augusta Chronicle and Thomasville Enterprise discuss Foster Blodgett's seemingly safe pardon and the fear of his retribution. They review cotton costs and forecasts for 1876, warn of a very light crop lowering prices, and report Decatur county relief plans and local obituaries including Dearu or Mrs Exira M Burse.
Agricultural notes advise shallow planting at one inch, quick seedling nutrition with stable manure water or ammoniated fertilizers but warn against nonammoniated dissolved bones. Mechanized drilling and harrow preps improve stands, especially on rough beds, per Southern Cultivator.
In Hamilton County Ohio last week a District Court ruled the consignee may inspect shipments and refuse incorrect goods, with return to sender free of charge. The case involved a corpse, a railroad and a hospital, deciding return of the body would violate public policy and the hospital chief lacked authority to charge for an unused casket.
A city doctor sued for 29 dollars after delivering twins instead of a single child. The husband paid 10 dollars, the original contract, and the jury found for the defendant, who avoids payment while the doctor pays costs. The case ends with a caution on contracts involving multiple births. Also noted are life statistics, a postmaster election bill, and political intrigue around Blaine.
