New Mexico Admission Move Gains Attention
A movement to admit New Mexico as a state is under way with a push to persuade Congress at the forthcoming session. Delegate Joseph, a Democrat, opposes statehood and argues it is not desired by the people, while supporters claim he represents a minority from a split election. Chicago visitors and ex-US attorney Co. Pritchard support admission, noting the territory’s 160,000 population and potential welfare gains.

A physician cites copper’s alleged protective effect against cholera in 19th century Paris and mentions galvanic ideas. The piece also parodies coffee’s reputation for drying virtue, cats as climbers, and ancient reverence for eggs, reflecting a miscellany of quips from Taras listings and Burlington Free Press.
Grady Journey Through Virginia Mountains to the Moonshiner Town
The author recounts a six day solo trek to Grundy on Big Sandy river near the Kentucky line, a desolate hamlet with no brick houses in Buchanan County. He notes rugged rocky roads, wary locals, a county with no wheeled vehicles, a lone frame hotel and court in a two room building, and a sparse landscape where only log huts and stack chimneys dot the mountains.
