Diary of a Rum Runner and Town Notices
Fragmented diary notes recount a railed tavern keeper swapping whiskey for time, visits from patrons, threats of drunken violence, and a grim tale of a man who kills his wife in a rage. A missionary recollection follows, detailing a sobering conversion and a desperate family’s salvation, then local notices praise remedy claims and a catarrh treatment with warnings about dubious cures.
