The Prescote Daily News provides a roster of state and county officials including Governor George W. Donaghe, Secretary of State C. Ludwig, State Treasury J. J. Yates, and other department heads. The notice also includes subscription rate details and general publication information for the newspaper.
The piece recounts Joe the street gamin who joined a Confederate era unit, trotted with General Custer’s group to Indian country, and rode ahead after treks with armed bravado. Despite discipline attempts, rank and file kept him near, until he rode alone to scout a reported Indian force ahead of the unit.
The story recalls a boy named Joe who proved fearless among Indiana troops. He earned the nickname Heap Little Man for his courage, fought bravely, disobeyed guards to reach the front, and died singing Glory Glory Hallelujah as comrades mourned with him.
A Quebec shopkeeper records a comical written order listing a father Jean St. Jean and his large French Canadian family by name and age, ending with a plea for shoes for the many children and noting a barefoot hillaira. The narrator deems the man clever for his wit.
A compendium of wry lines and playground banter about elections bragging schemes and a wry exchange about a boy named Johnny becoming an investigator. The joke pair contrasts clever questions with a pun about a gopher born at the bottom.
A fragment quotes a lecturer urging a man to honor his wife at least three times. The exchange hints at sparing financial expenditure and balancing affection with prudent spending.
