The Gazette promotes itself as Douglas County’s premier weekly, pledging broad coverage of Lawrence and surrounding country. It touts a Jeffersonian Democratic stance and plans expanded ten year coverage with regular country correspondence from across the county.
A wartime style notice offers Twee Gazette for 75 cents annual subscription if paid at BOER before April 3. The push promises to add 400 names to the subscriber list and urges old subscribers to renew to avoid losing the reduced rate. Also contains weather notes and horticultural tips for beekeeping and general domestic guidance.
Prominent authors question whether writing pays or is a vocation in America. The piece surveys writers from Edgar Allan Poe to Henry James, noting many rely on journalism, teaching, or other jobs to survive while pursuing literature. It cites figures like Emerson, Whittier, Twain, and Howells, and highlights the era’s lack of stable literary wealth and the prevalence of supplementary income.
