It reports on oil from Missouri, Corin th resident John Eggleston's death, and election dates across many states. It covers New Jersey oyster stats, Jane Swisshelm illness, Zuni procession at Santa Fe, sardine production, and ex-senators Cilley Jones King. It ends with a cake recipe and a farmer’s joke about love.
