The Henton Journal issue dated Saturday morning July 9 1898 edited and published by Melvin Steele and Johnson announces local news, brief notices, and community updates in a traditional late 19th century newspaper format.
An old soldier recalls how quickly horses adapt to military service learning bugle calls and marches. He recalls an artillery charge across a meadow where six guns formed a straight line despite the horses pulling in a curved arc. He notes horses rush to feed calls and remain brave amid battle, showing no fear in tumult.
In Paris at carnival time grotesque effigies mock public figures. A stranger asks M. Sarcey to lend garments for the likeness. He refuses for the head, then the coat, dressing the dummy in veritable attire. Sarcey explains editors and critics seek harmless amusement, noting Lamartine and Hugo would not lend coats, and journalists have little regard for feelings.
A Washington Post quotation reports a physician describing liars as often not to blame, noting some lie from habit or nervous illness. He suggests rest, tonics, and proper nursing can restore honesty, while malicious liars cannot be cured, though many recover with treatment.
A European Magazine account surveys Canton detailing foreign presence on the city’s fringe, ancient street plans, gilded signboards, and bustling pawnshops. It notes jade markets with Turkestan stones, jade adornment among the rich, and cheap glass imitations for the poor, plus local cuisine and traditional medicines made from diverse ingredients.
The article describes copper and a brass-like composition metal used to sheath wooden ships and some vessels. It outlines fast, neat nail work, options over felt, dock procedures, and estimates a 1,800 ton ship requires about 4,000 dollars for a two-voyage life. It notes seventy-five men can complete the work in two days. It also briefly explains subsoiling plows and Mrs. Astor plate portraits.
