The Pepin count advertises at statute prices with yearly options and six month resets, charging 40 cents per 100 for type. It notes restrictions on quantity ads, notes trade and business advertising locally, and highlights printing services and stock at the office with plain and ornamental types and colored inks.
Public notices cover newspaper laws on subscriptions and discontinuances, with penalties for nonpayment or noncollection. Religious services list times and venues in Pepin and Wick. The business directory includes attorneys at law in Pepin and nearby areas with offices in Wisconsin.
A long humorous ramble from Fox the Pepin County Press blends verse on eternal youth with a tale of two Kentucky gubernatorial candidates who spar with music. A fiddler draws crowds, tilting votes as banter and politics collide in a colorful, era-tinged sketch.
A patchwork of antiquated jests and anecdotes unfolds with quips about superlatives, a pious goose tale, language jests, and a bear incident. The piece threads Rev Jesse Lee vignettes, a wealthy man and a table leg quip, and comic moralized tales across a window into 19th century humor.
