A dense, fragmented OCR page lists names and firms including L Lopsers, Bost, RETROLDS, LUDOLPH & REYNOLDS, McENIRY & McENIRY, SCHANART, HADA M BURKHART, DR. T FOSTER, and DR. C W GRAFTON. It mixes attorneys, doctors, and veterinary services with office hours, addresses, and scattered notes on diseases and surgical practice. The legible items appear as a local business directory fragment with multiple professions and contact details.
Dus De, Natal postmaster H H Paris delivers a graphic account of a British retreat under shellfire as Boer artillery roared overhead. He describes walking through darkness to a coal mine shelter, tending telegraph duties amid bombardment, and witnessing wounded officers and desolate scenes before reaching safety with the column.
Fragmented wire service text recounts British Lancers and Boer War actions with Major J Fowle and troops arriving in New York aboard the Etruria. It mingles battlefield reports, soldier quotes, and medical notices, including remedies and domestic notices like baby soothing drops, all presented in a garbled late 19th or early 20th century style.
