A garbled OCR fragment describes advertising rates and line pricing. It references per line costs for reteoactad and additions, with per line charges for each insertion and a note about column color headings and layout. The text lacks coherent names or places.
A feature on Saur and Balsley in Napoleon praising their 25 years of service and urging readers to visit their store. The piece highlights holiday sales, a wide stock of wall papers paints and medicines, and encourages home decoration with easy wall mounting.
A long miscellany notes pedestrians versus heavy wagons and skidding horses on busy streets, calls for humane officers and better crowd control, and comments on social manners including women terminology, court cases, and local gossip. It includes a police-tinged critique of promenade snowball fighting and a harsh vignette of a family dispute, with a medical advertisment at the end.
A patchwork of court records includes bankrupts and judgments, land and tax actions, and a string of public notices. Reports mention the State of Ohio vs H Glass, deed orders, and tax cases, plus sheriff-like notices, auctions, and a public sale near Napoleon with farm equipment and livestock.
Governor Campbell declares that Ohio cities should have home rule with the freest, fullest character and federal oversight of municipal government.
