Calico Girl and a Windowpane Memory in One Verse
A mixed page features a sentimental poem about a girl with calico dress and a window pane memory of a father’s return, contrasting fashion and domestic devotion. It shifts to public notices on politics, figures like Thomas L. Clingman, and Civil War era party critiques, with wedding notices and humorous vignettes about language quirks and a deaf couple’s wedding in Lafayette.
