The Elizabeth Daily publishes ad rates and notices with addressed offices in Elizabeth Newark and Chicago. It notes rates for single copies, weekly totals, and classifieds including wanted to let weddings and funerals. The paper highlights telegraph news access and its network for timely reporting.
An old advertisement offers the Journal to follow residents leaving the city, promising local news and affairs beyond a home letter. It allows address changes, instructs to notify the agent or send orders, and notes advance payment for those without Journal accounts, with rent set at 2 cents per day.
A distorted report claims New Jersey labor organizers oppose Samuel Gompers and back William P. Bryan for the Democratic ticket. The delegates reportedly debated confidence in the national leader, with mixed votes on a resolution praising Gompers and his policies while urging support for the Democratic program.
The meeting was attended by representatives of many trades unions in Camden and vicinity. The sending of this letter to Gompers was authorized by an almost unanimous vote with one dissenting voice and two members absent.
A lengthy 19th century style op-ed argues recent lawlessness in Maiwachiteetth reflects financial pressure and widespread mood, blaming a mix of economic strain and opportunists. It cites university events, sensational exhibitions, and a Charlestonish scandal in Atlantic City, calling for decisive action against officials and a pervasive culture of impunity.
A reader correspondence to the Journal discusses prominent sunflowers including a claimed eleven foot specimen with eleven protruding leaves and large blooms. The writer compares garden sunflowers on Meadow Street to a reported giant sunflower described in a previous issue, noting measurements of height leaf span and flower diameter.
