A Wisconsin Printer’s Page Opens with Poetic Vision
The fragment recalls Gedgesa in Alworth County Walworth Wisconsin authored by Edgar J Farnum. It spans catalog data, subscription rates, and a long verse reflecting on independence from agriculture versus urban reliance, urging appreciation of the country fireside and simple plenty over ornate displays. It contrasts farmer self-sufficiency with urban wage dependence, lamenting lost country customs and urging a return to home fireside warmth and cider.

The piece denounces gossipers as petty minds who revive old family feuds to harm others, warning that such tales betray a past of their own. It cites a Louisville incident of tarring and feathering a schoolteacher, Z Brady, by a mob of two hundred, and mentions cheery notes on Nineveh sculptures arriving in Boston, miscele nuss from Brooklyn and Prescott band notes along with casual verse on shawls and sleighing in Geneva.
