Faint Chronicle of 1879 Notes From Georgia and Beyond
A wide reflecting column reports on Fay Goulds wealth at 45 million dollars and bold notes about Tex expanding to thirty three states, a daily mail in a county site, and Toombs Grant as potential last president. It covers weather, eclipses, finance, hog crops, a move of Prof Cheves to Dawago, and the Virginia Legislature election of thirteen negroes by anti debt payers. It notes a medical and educational push, railroad and mail shipments, and a curious Athens man who never hunted. It closes with stories of crime, a murder case, local deaths, and a long prose on Southern agriculture and prices.

War on dogs shakes rural Georgia family tragedy
A Georgia family endures a sheep killing spree by dogs. The matriarch vows violent justice, declaring war on neighborhood hounds while neighbors and witnesses recall a century of livestock losses. The tale ties to Walter T Colquitt and James Rockmore anecdotes and a note on early telephone tests between Albany and Syracuse.

Exodus to Indiana Prompts North Carolina Emigration Plan
A misprinted report describes a mass movement from North Carolina to Indiana aided by the National Aid Society. It promises each migrant fifty dollars, a ticket to Indiana, housing, and seventy cents daily until employed. The piece notes thousands are being prepared to depart and questions local reactions to the influx of African migrants. Senator Voorhees doubts the Republicans’ intended aims will be achieved.

Wise man quotes and election notes from a Georgia paper
A printed column extols self release and moral integrity while warning that public denigration cannot alter character. It notes Georgia election law changes making miscasting a vote a misdemeanor, cites coinage debates about silver dollars, Liberia travel cautions, and urges frugal home production and tool preservation. Reverend Bagge joins Atlanta’s Central Presbyterian Church as preacher.
