In Dato Montana on February 27 1891 the Dillon Tribune argues the salary law will raise county costs by forcing deputies and higher salaries. It notes deputies bill through the sheriff whose warrants are cashed, shielding deputies and provoking public ire at Sheriff Roses fee bills, urging integrity in county officials.
The piece surveys early American anthems and their foreign origins, notes later wartime songs such as Battle Hymn of the Republic and Dixie, and honors George Washington. It recounts Washington's sacrifices, his unpaid leadership, and a local reflection on patriotism amid a quiet birthday observance. It closes with a brief economic note and a Pennsylvania mine disaster update.
The piece recalls George Washington traits and legends from a popular magazine voice, noting modesty in romance, military choices, jokes on the battlefield, and a mix of myth and fact about relics, instruments, and personal habits. It also mentions Cosmopolitan Magazine staff changes, Mount Vernon history, and recent crimes including a train robber’s sentence and Diamond Joe Reynolds’ death.
Fragmentary verse praising steadfast courage and radiant spirit. The lines invoke a noble sentiment of strength in battle and the loftiness of the human soul, with imagery of a bright sun over a home and the enduring glow of virtue. Readable phrases suggest a ceremonial or commemorative tone from a literary page.
A historical column demystifies George Washington, describing his temper and strength, his treatment of slaves, and a startling 1768 letter in which he orders a captured runaway to be sold. The piece cites Worthington Ford’s edited writings and quotes Washington’s rigid actions and hardline attitudes toward enslaved people.
Note from H L Winharp secretary of the Lima Montana Y M C A thanking the Tribune for editorial praise of their work. Also reports the body of Professor Bancroft of Brown University found in a pond near Providence Rhode Island and notes Senator Wilson of Maryland is dead.
