Terrors of the Law at Zion Baptist Church
In a Mississippi plantation hamlet a disputed pastorate at Zion Baptist Church ends with Sister Esmerelda Humphreys ousted after a contentious revival dispute. She defends reform while Susannah Coffin manipulates the flock, and the congregation votes to join the Methodist Zion church, awaiting a new Seventh Commandment sermon and a promised revival.

Drummer Hired by Firm Fails to Deliver Orders
A Cleveland Plain Dealer anecdote about a company hiring a drummer to cover western territory. After $100 was advanced and ten days passed without an order, a telegram asked for whether the man remained with the firm. The reply claimed a $200 draw and stated he was still with them, though the tale casts doubt on the claimed loyalty.
