Courting Advice From a Humorous Old Column
A lighthearted list warns a young man about avoidable courting missteps and suggests proper conduct. It jokes about questions on natural teeth and a remembered plague of locusts, then pivots to practical etiquette and a prompting note to brighten the evening with a considerate gesture.

Tales of caution and courage amid storms and death
A jumble of reflective sketches, Native funeral rites, frontier anecdotes, urban gossip, and moral maxims. The piece mixes a warning on frugality and distrust with tribal death rituals, a prizefighting marriage description, a panther tale, and adolescent guidance for Young Men, tied by a quiet newspaper voice of the era.
