A reader-voiced verse from Deatur Alabama urges readers to seek pleasant moments and friendships. It reflects on marking only the bright hours, with a sun dial saying I mark only the hours that shine. The piece closes with a note about a similar inscription in Italy and the Alabama town of Deatur.
E F Jenninas writes Hon Tos M Peters urging North Alabama railroad unity to boost coal iron timber and land values. He explains costs and tax shares for a Decatur Aberdeen and Vicksburg line, cites Butler Barbour counties as value proof, and notes federal land grants and private capital as possible aids.
A Captain D commanded a Liverpool to New York voyage with family aboard. During a sudden squall the ship lurched, awakening frightened passengers while a little eight year old girl slept peacefully. She trusted her father on deck, and the piece urges readers to trust God who is always on deck, never sleeping, guiding through tempests.
A reflective piece praising the Bible portrait of Heaven over other depictions. It emphasizes transformation into Christ’s image, glorified love among saints, and a radiant, finite likeness to the Peerless Exemplar. The author recalls a golden promise and the verse “We shall be like him” as core comfort.
A reader from Russellville Alabama writes a reflective humor filled column praising local letters and editorials. The piece recalls editor descriptions of local ladies and community figures, notes sorrow for a junior editor's wife, endorses the Narow Gauge Railroad plan, and urges continued advocacy with the pen as a force for progress.
A fragment notes political activity as Grangers seek momentum in Missouri by planning a regional bank and self operating park houses and packing establishments. The text also references ex president Jefferson Davis leaving New Orleans for Europe and hints at unrest or health concerns.
The poem recounts Bob and Sallie playing euchre with gallant Robert observing the scene. Hearts are trumps as Sallie laments luck and Rob speaks of love. In a playful exchange he asks for Sallie’s heart, and she agrees to join as his partner in love.
The Connecticut Democrats nominate a full State ticket and issue stirring resolutions. They affirm unwavering devotion to the Constitution and Union, insist that states govern themselves, and reserve all powers not expressly granted to the States. The piece notes State Rights as the sole hope of Republican liberty in America and mentions a new patent batter made of beef suet.
