In Milledgeville 1832 a dandy named Jenks sells his whiskers for fifty dollars and later loses them to a creditor in a broker’s office. The story follows the comic clash at a barber shop and broker’s counter as Jenks attempts to reclaim the prize before a planned ball, ending with whiskerless embarrassment and a costly lesson in vanity.
The Louisville Democrat reports fractures within the Whig party in Kentucky during elections in August. It notes factions favoring domestic policies versus pro Mexico positions, with key figures like McHenry opposing the Mexican War and stirring dissension across cities and counties.

A fragmented clipping recounts a quirky mix of items: a Pope related letter on drunkenness, a dramatic Prussia episode with Madame Lehmann who attacked a professor in a cafe, then a long critique of bank taxation and the heavy tax load on farmers and merchants. Also included are general notes on remedies and a stray fragment from an old scrapbook.
