Rum trade in West Africa and other tales from era
A fragmentary 19th century column covers West Africa where a Cainda bay trader runs a rum exchange with palm kernels, natives, and a crowded shop scene, noting smallpox and sleeping sickness as major curses. The item then shifts to notes on a new freezer claim, testimonials, a letter from E L Mowner and others, and assorted advertisements including cats in Constantinople, printing without ink, and patent medicines.
