Advertising rates and a tale of a farm swindle
The notice lists advertising rates by application and notes subscription expiry numbers on the margin. A block of text retells a swindle where Brown buys out two bidders with $350, loses the money, then loses the farm to the second bidder. The piece shifts to a Centerville courthouse cornerstone ceremony and historic county figures, followed by extensive flood and tornado damage reports across Town, Nebraska, Kansas, Des Moines, Ottumwa, Lincoln, Topeka, Kansas City, and surrounding areas, noting widespread loss of life and millions in property damage with improving flood conditions late.
