Keep the Mill A Going and Persevere in Life
A battered motivational poem urges steady effort and resilience, urging the reader to keep the mill a-going despite hardship. It extols hope, courage, and ongoing labor as the path to future reward, while noting rough roads and envy from others. The piece transitions into a local update about recruits, tents, and camp life, then reports a robbery near South Whitley where Frank Olds was relieved of valuables after a feigned tobacco request.

The State suit, Joseph Harrison v Menaugh et al, sought steps to hold a township trustee and assessor election in Whitley county. The court found the last Legislature moved election time from this year November to November 1400, and ruled officials properly refused the election.
