The Charlestons Convention expenses debate centers on Lynchburg sending thirty delegates and a council reluctance to cover fifty delegates. The paper questions overstaffing, urges restraint, and commends smaller, affordable housing projects like Hiram Tyler’s Square while noting local confidence in Depot plans and rail routes through Rocketts. A court case reports Hawkins beating Price, with the mayor ordering peace bonds and potential Grand Jury action, plus news on a runaway slave and a Hamlet performance.
