New Year Greeting and a Second Chance at Love in 1912
A long verse salutes the newspaper as a friend and trusted messenger of the New Year and reminds readers of its coverage of legislation, finance, science, and human interest stories. The main narrative follows Adoniram Doyle and Octavia Sparks through signs and fateful choices, a barn accident, and a dramatic proposal that ends with romance and fate guiding marriage. The piece mixes poems and local notes with a tale of superstition, love, and a life altered by accident in Jefferson County.
