A shabby stranger offers a worn coon skin to a grocer during a summer sales scene. The grocer refuses, prompting a tearful plea about starving children. The man sells the skin for fifteen cents, then wanders off to drink, musing on his ruined family.
An unnamed man recounts a sorrowful migration of a family in a wagon pulled by worn mules. A dog named Timothy and a mother, three children, and scarce rations haunt their journey as fever and famine push them to seek new land in Mississippi or return to Kentucky.
The piece contrasts a North Carolina house servant Aunt Hester, a pious yet deceitful Methodist, with a Christmas theft of a turkey and a prayerful defense for her dress. It then cites a New York City Bloody Sunday report from the Tribune about street violence and a father-son murder, followed by Decatur County crop gloom due to eleven weeks without rain and near-total crop failure for corn cotton and sweet potatoes.
