The article argues Lincoln County may be too large with diverse interests. It proposes dividing into three parts focused on mineral, agricultural, and pastoral zones to align local needs. County seat location is seen as a minor, workable issue amid broader regional realignment.
The article reflects on climate comfort across regions, notes snow disruptions in Atlanta Virginia and the Carolinas, and mentions New Mexico’s milder weather. It includes scattered anecdotes about letters from England, cattle shipments, a Bulgarian throne candidate, and local political divisions while wryly observing British politics and Irish humor.
The piece contrasts bullheadedness with true heroism, citing Luther and Tom Paine as examples who followed duty despite danger or discouragement. It warns readers to avoid misguided stubbornness while urging self correction and acknowledging error. It also promotes the Lead Annual from J. M. Berry & Co. as a source of quality pea seeds.
A clipping recounts Mr. Gallagher of Wilmington and Eli Chandler of the Baxter Mining Co. facing accusations and defense over assessment work and payments tied to the Henry Clay, Oro Cash, and Triangle claims. It details threats, court actions, and disputed funds as community figures clash with Sly’s papers.
A Mesilla Valley notice from December 616 1886 features George Crank accusing a rival miner of lying about a mining claim jump and inviting all to confront him. It cites local readers as witnesses and asserts the claimant will be exposed to the town.
