Democratic Northwest in Napoleon, Ohio

Select snippets of 19th century miscellany from wire service notes

A mixed fragment from old papers reports a Maine state quip, a joke about the McKinley tariff on corsets and a cucumber exhibit in Montgomery Alabama. It also mentions a 525 pound hog, a San Dead judge’s mother praising him, and a grand motherly eulogy, plus an ad urging underwear purchases at Geo H Rohrs & Brow.
