Evansville Journal mystery and local notices amid river town chatter
A jumble of items from Mt. Vernon and Posey county notes include a request for the Evansville Journal to explain the absence of its Mt. Vernon Itemizer columnist, reminders of political committee meetings in New York, printing adverts from Turatt, Mumrap, and a local tax-collection tour by Howris. Reports on a funeral, steamer activity on the Wabash, subscription dues, and Union Sunday School Convention plans in New Harmony wrap the slice of local life with partisan ribbing and community updates.
