A whaling voyage off Brunswick captures two Greenland or Right whales, one about eighty feet long and the other six weeks old, with the large animal yielding about one hundred barrels of oil and a ton of bone.

A fragment from a Georgia article notes Henry Woods in Savannah entering an asylum in New York after cotton ventures falter. It references Atticus G.

The piece also covers Edison lamp factory output and Terrell County's fever response.
