The Appeal by Jas P Lawtell Collates Regional ills
A dated, fragmentary column notes diptheria in northeast Georgia, Dawson merchants Roberts Brothers fail, Kentucky hog crop forecasts and apocalyptic warnings for November. It cites Mississippi water concerns, two African American women lawyers, Mrs Stowe on dress reform, and a Guthbert suicide attempt. It references 1882 Mississippi flood costs, Southern railroad control by Hartford syndicates, Senate water consumption, and a Worth Georgia fertilizer resolution resisting guano payments.
