Savannah paper piece angers Northern Georgia planter
A Georgia planter visiting Savannah to arrange farm supplies ends in a humorous scene with Squire Skaggs of Gwinnett. The exchange includes a drafted supplement praising Skaggs as a prosperous farmer and ends with assurances the piece would be printed, though the farmer complains of onerous expenses and a long travel plan. The dialogue dodges asides about sassafras tea and Pharaoh references punctuate the visit.

Jury Duty and a Hornswoggled Verdict Tale
Duskin recounts satirically a trial juror named Bije, the most contrary man who ever ruffled a woman's temper. The tale follows the jurors wrestling over a fraud case, the judge's threats, a breakfast interlude, and a mistaken elopement rumor that almost provokes Bije to riot.
