It mentions Rockdale dogs to sheep ratios, cold snaps in Wisconsin and Texas, rising banks in Nashville, prohibition gains, and miscellany about smallpox, postage, and meteor counts, with several city notes from Atlanta and Macon.
An article extols melon culture led by Smith and Trapp as a superior per acre earner to cotton, citing a patch yielding over $80 in melons last year and forecasts of large plantings.
