Durham Recorder reports legislative adjournment near February 25, calls out Governor Russell's war funding, education board disputes in Vance County, and a proposed leaf tobacco fee cut. It notes the Maltby House reopening in Baltimore, welcomes Norfolk Journal of Commerce, Cuban relief funds, and a Cleveland-like Libby Prison history. It ends with Fall River cotton goods boom and Texas oil wells near Corsicana.
The Caucasian argues the Populist party suffers from poor reading material and calls out political guides for misleading citizens. It contends only the quality of reading matters, not quantity, and predicts a reckoning for those steering politics astray.
The Third North Carolina will start mustering out on February 3. Two companies will be discharged first with a two day interval. Soldiers, aware they are to be released, express reluctance but will be freed next week as the last of the troublesome regiments departs Macon.
A Durham Recorder special issue of 10000 copies draws praise from prominent citizens and officials. Letters from Col W T Blackwell, E O Hackney, J H Southgate, D C Mangum, Caleb Green, and others laud the paper’s fine printing, business value, and city promotion. Local banks, merchants, and educators commend the enterprise and its impact on Durham.
Fragments describe a sale where bidders showed interest in various items with eager buyers and rapid bids. The notice hints at limited supply and expected higher demand as the event proceeds.
