The Appeal items and crop news from 1874 Georgia
The notice from Cuthbert reports Joseph Mathis, a noted horse thief, has been arrested. It notes the Brunswick and Albany Railroad’s strong performance under Colonel Schlatter, Weston’s 500 mile walk challenge, and a suit against the Montgomery and West Point Railroad resulting in $10,000 damages upheld by the Supreme Court. It covers crop damage from heavy rains and cold, a large oil fire in Atlanta with $3000 loss, and a vast Mississippi valley flood estimated at 15 to 20 million in damages. Grant’s rise is debated, and Colchel Lee Jordan’s cotton-only model shifts back to provisioning. Congressman Stephens remains gravely ill in Washington with complex ailments and low weight.
