The notice from Jonn TV Hamninetox at the Sun Building Lowell Massachusetts lists pricing: per year eight dollars and per month eight dollars, with city delivery and postage free. It states Sundays excepted and that the publication is entered as second class mail matter.
A facetious note contrasts the famous quote about fooling people with the idea of a second-hand newspaper. It invites comparison of THE SUN to other local papers, humorously suggesting trust is tied to the source and its presentation.
A storm of editorials cites labor strife in Fall River and nationwide debates over a Hawaiian republic, wages, and social reform. It notes lawmaker disputes in Lawrence, Keeley cures, and rising protectionist sentiments while warning mills against wage cuts and protracted disputes.
The text surveys populist and reform positions in Congress, naming senators from Kansas Wim, Nebraska William M Stewart, Nevada, and South Dakota James H Kyle. It outlines populist aims including free silver, direct elections, abolition of trusts, land and resource nationalization, tax reform on mortgage property, and immigration limits, while noting a split with Democrats and limited prospects for eastern growth. The Central Labor Union shows limited activity toward a people’s party, with some Lowell branch formation.
Vivid clippings reveal social banter and light humor from diverse papers. Jim Thompson tallies fingers after meeting Mr Lunius Grant, while gossip touches Miss Barrowcliff and her fortuneless father. A mix of quips covers gloves, parasols, shop talk, and a talkative Parliament moment.
In a brief, eccentric note Sunbeamns describes Mary Ann and Bridget as a lively pair. The fragment hints at a social scene with a new partner, portraying Bridget as a striking figure and Mary Ann as a steady companion during a local cycling outing.
A wild eyed patient recites a tangled family puzzle to an asylum doctor, detailing marriages between his widow ally, her daughter, and his own relatives. Interludes feature quips about yacht trips, temperance workers, and satire about MAVAES wearers with rings in noses and eyes.
Brooklyn woman Mrs Lillie Meyer suffered abdominal pain backache and bearing down. After failing doctors a friend recommended Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. She used it and relief followed with menstruation returning without pain. Drugstores sell it for one dollar and claim it can expel early uterine tumors.
The vendor advertises ultra low prices to clear fall and winter goods. Items include Ladies Jersey Undervests, Fancy Silk Embroidered Undervests, Gauze Vests, Gent’s Merino Undervests, Outing Shirts, Ladies Hose, Corsets, Shirt Waists, Leather Belts, Bodice Belts, Silk Windsor Ties, Lace Bonnets, and Boys and Girls Hats all marked down well below typical retail.
