A jumbled collection of ads and brief items from a small town paper. Ginger Mead beverages, True & Co promotions, Barrett Bros stock, and True & Co daily papers. Local entertainments at City Hall, rental updates, trades, and a runaway wagon incident near Fetter's. Modern and historical tone with varied topics.
A fragmentary note mentions Ginger Mead at True & Co keeping systems up with critics. Jasper, Richmond preacher, reports 1,158 baptisms in two weeks and boasts on pace to baptize more than any American preacher. Sharpless of Catawissa, Pa, grows large seed strawberries and offers plants at $1 per dozen.
Try Ginger Mead the new improvement on soda water. The greatest novelty of the day is now in operation in this city a telephone from the Mirror office to C H Norris office a square apart. It works like a charm allowing easy conversation with distinct sound almost in the same room. It predicts that every business man will have one to stay in touch with family and notes you can talk saucy to the other end safely. Hard to beat boiled eggs.
A fragmented 19th century advertising page mentions Ginger Mead soda water trials at True& Co and a plan for a grand excursion to Niagara Falls priced at 3.50. It includes Cromulent lines about trade, livestock for sale, Ice Cream Parlor cash sales, and offers from Johnson Linster & Co.
A terse note describes weekly circulation counts for the Marion Mirror and the Independent and Star papers. It records that the Star exceeds the Independent in circulation and indicates the two papers share distribution totals in the Marion area.
