The Gray Mare the Better Horse
A tale explains the proverb by recounting a husband who seeks to part from a domineering wife. His journey to prove a wife governs all husbands ends with a showdown at a countys house where the wife insists on the gray mare as the better horse, and the husband must take it or quit.

Sold Out-A Negro Unifier. Beauregard’s Unification Critique
The Selma Times quotes Confederate General Beauregard debates on racial unity. It contrasts Butler’s governance in New Orleans with Beauregard’s social integration plea, accusing Beauregard of seeking race mixing and equal rights in public life, churches, transport, and commerce. The piece defends Butler and labels Beauregard as opposing Lost Cause reverence.

Weather woes and pest worries plague cotton prospects
The piece urges sunny dry weather while fearing a prolonged drought, notes caterpillar outbreaks near Selma and Montgomery, and says prospects are worse than last month. It laments idle youth, urges farm labor to hoe grass for seventy five cents a day, and warns against burdening families if not working.
