The column mixes local news from Cuthbert and Savannah with national tidbits. It reports potato digging prospects, notable deaths, a Grants visit to Atlanta, and various Georgia economic notes. It cites ministerial figures, railroad income, mint marks on coins, and a debate on anti usury laws, alongside local marriages, illness, and business ventures.
The piece surveys a Supreme Court decision affecting trust estates and note purchases tied to credit. It notes a Georgia law authorizing juror compensation in justices courts at $1.25 per verdict, to be paid by the prevailing party and distributed among jurors. It also references liquor sales in Carrollton, public improvements, social effects, and a medical claim about ginger tonic as a remedy.
A fragmented Rural Georgia style column notes a debt dispute over 825 owed to J W Burke by Capt Burke and his company after a Northward trip of the GCGs, a threat to Jeff Davis, local marriages and trips to Florida, egg shortages, cotton speculation profits, and a planned Knights of Honor lodge formation. It also mentions Enfants fure attendees, cold weather, cotton picking, unsettled notes, Rev J H Corley accepting a call, Daniel Killingaworth’s death, Norton preaching, and a raffle featuring a mare, watch, organette, and other items.
