A Song For The Sons And An Orphaned Heart
A fragmented verse speaks of an orphaned boy missing a mother’s smile and fearing loss, then shifts to a Confederate era marching tune praising kinship, discipline, and devotion to God and order. The passages mix longing, tragedy, religious resolve, and a call for strength amidst storms and funerary memory.

Great Bear Bight Fight Report From North Twich Dam
A subscriber from North Twich Dam recounts a bear battle on Col Thomas Poster’s farm on the 30th. One boy drove cows from the house and, near the woods, encountered an old bear and her cubs. After gunfire and a struggle, the bear was killed and two cubs captured. The boys returned home with the latest victory tale, likened to General Scott or Taylor in the Mexican War.
