Dixon City Government Described As Circus Under Debate

Reports mention John Thompson's comedy show and hay fuel use in Iowa farms, with probate court actions and a critique of reform efforts in party caucuses led by S S Bethea.

Financial trouble and blizzard gloom in Paw Paw Times letter
A Dakota blizzard era letter from Huron Michigan dated January 23 1883 complains of a five dollar debt and threats of collection. The writer EDW STERLING urges patience until a payment can be enclosed and jokes about cold water and peanuts to cheer the recipient. The Paw Paw Times notes the episode as heart-rending and mocks the honesty of office seekers.
