Profits from Texas Pasturage and Sheep Raising
A traveler recounts large profits from Texas pasturing stock after the war. Alfred Smith of Austin reportedly invested 2800 dollars in horses with gains, while a Cuero banker earned about half a million from stock pasturage.

New Fashion Shift Introduces Half Handkerchief Scarves

Fastened by a brooch, these necklaces substitute for collars. A final column note humorously recounts a mason dropping a brick and a citizen’s hat mishap on Jefferson street.
