Wenona Home Letters Record Marital News and Local Happenings
Winslow Evans married a Bureau county lassie last week, a sly union that surprised friends. The column notes Wenona society moves westward, visits from Lucy Vansant and Annie Woolf, trips to the Chicago state fair, premiums won by Burgess Bros, and local gossip about Mrs McClanahan moving to southern Kansas and Al Beckwith's elopement to Ida Bolton. Local pump troubles and social bits color the piece with town humor and sentiment.

Whitefield On Ludwig and Editorial Banter
A fragmented column rails at Ludwig of the Democrat in a mock debate about consistency and journalism. It chides readers, hints at staff recruitment, praises local figures, mentions schools, roads, stores, and a winter event in Whitefield, and ends with playful quips about local figures and industry.

Putnam Dry Weather Impacts Local Farmers and Vague Widowers
In Putnam dry weather hurts farming as wells fail or run dry. A local misnaming by Lottie labeled men as widowers, though they are not. The M B Church held a festival at Henkines Hall last Friday night, bringing a good time for attendees.
