Fragment from a 19th century column features a long poem about moral peril and temperance, then a harsh broadside by Petroleum V Nashy announcing a Saturday start for a liquor shop and drug dealing schemes misusing liquor licenses and church critiqued as a national danger. The author pledges to supply dumkauds pauleus and urges residents to oppose perceived moral decay.
