Looking Backward and Public Notices in 1860s Lexington
A fragmented column reviews Capt. George C. Bingham's painting project and its local reception, notes church membership estimates, and critiques hog nuisance policies. It also reports weather, river conditions, personal arrivals, peach damage, a property sale, and several marriages. The column then advocates for William J. Stone as Missouri's Senate candidate, assessing De Armond, party unity, and warnings about corporate influence and third party movements, urging Lafayette county action.
