The fragment appears to describe an official county paper dated December 25 1890 with advertising rates and subscription details. It mentions Massie Hitz Press and a note about advance payment, pricing, and advertising information likely available upon application. The text is garbled and partial.
A compilation of brief items notes Sitting Bull killed resisting arrest, Indian costs cited by Chicago Tribune, local option law invalid in Missouri courts, and Captain O’Shea named Chief Grain Inspector. Also mentions increased publication frequency of The St. Louis Republic and rising Missouri edition readership. Merry Christmas wishes conclude the column.
Excerpts note a senator's quip about politics and faith, a 1891 bank deposit law in New Madrid County, and editorials criticizing pension attorney fees. The Denver Republican cites concerns over pension claims costs and a lobbying ring, while other clippings mock temperance zeal and legal notices from St Louis and Detroit.

Obscure quotes lauding women as moral force follow, with local notes: John King agent, new stable and salt shed built, several residents’ activities, a juvenile death, a public lecture by Frank L. Bohn, and a jailbreak incident.
A cautionary note on horse handling urges kindness over taunts and warns that teasing unsettles a horse. It contrasts human moral sense with a horse’s lack of malice and stresses clear signals, calm guidance, and avoiding harmful tricks in the stall and paddock.
