It also argues Cox’s removal harmed schools, defends the old Board while condemning the Journey faction, and contends the dispute centers on one person rather than policies.
The Journal disputes charges that the old Board of Trustees planned a $25,000 school certificates issue. It notes a printing error delayed certificates and accuses the Journal clique of fabricating the lie. It says the Board only sought $5,000 to pay overdue notes after Auditor funds were refused.
A jumble of dated items mentions a Water street printing quirk, New York Cremorne Garden plans, St Louis berry spiced foods, Chicago dairyman profits, a bottled grasshopper exhibit, a Missouri church hat wax, a New Orleans druggist fined for a fatal prescription error, and English post office profits with card losses. Additional notes cover Atlanta cotton factories, Will Gaylord’s contortion contest, Canadian abortion sentences, rag trade across Europe and US, Paris balloon relief funds, Indian spring lounges, the Merrimac wreck, a San Antonio egg in a hen, Paris imitation gems, a Princeton Rutgers cannon war, Wilkes-Barre Chinese guest, and the Savannah city plan.
