The Sun lists post office entry, carrier delivery for five cents a week, and ad rates. It directs readers to contact the business manager for business communications and the editor for publication submissions. It invites agents and asks subscribers with delivery issues to notify the office.
A satirical note from The Sun rebukes Mayor Denny for allowing a signed request from a city appointee to extract 1 percent of fire department earnings for the county Republican committee. It questions his knowledge, ties to officials, and the charter’s spirit, while invoking broader graft rumors and judicial cases.
A collection of brief notes spans remarks by Secretary Gresham on campaign speeches and debt comments by Mooriatown and Voorhees questions, Wilson's London trip on silver, a western mayoral divorce case, and a Christian Endeavor push for good citizenship. It ends with a shopping blurb: $145 for elegant suits, nightshirts 49c, and a wool sale at the Model with a local crowd cue.
An 19th century-advert style summary cites Robert Farquharson endorsing moderate alcohol use, praising pure whiskey as aiding digestion when taken with meals, especially at the main meal. He warns only pure whiskey should be consumed and mentions Duffy’s Pure Malt as an allegedly universal medicinal whiskey. The piece promises free words under a 3 day offer and includes various rental ads for furnished rooms across multiple streets.
