A series of short items from Cuthbert recount a brush fire at Mr Blanty’s gin house loss of cotton, a home robbery near W C Hay Sr, and a jail escape by four prisoners using outside help. The piece notes Rev. Mr Whitford’s impending Presbyterian service, busy Allison & Simpson traders, and lighthearted local anecdotes about Toomba & Bros and Pat and Bob.
A correspondent described leaving Cuthbert for college by train, meeting friends at Smithville, Macon, and Union Point, and arriving in Athens for university opening. He praised the city's growth, religious and educational institutions, and anticipated enrollment rising to about 250. Dr. Mell’s recovery was noted and the writer urged education at the University of Georgia.
In a letter dated after a visit north, Lown asserts loyalty to the South and corrects misstatements.

He emphasizes chivalry, unity, and reverence for parade of sentiment toward a national reconciliation.
