Curious tales and oddities from distant counties
A coastal Wilmington man reports a remote county tale of a couple leaving children with a slave girl who, after the children eat cabbage, die from convulsions. The servant also dies after eating cabbage that allegedly hid a boiled rattlesnake. The Star cautions on truth. The note quotes a fatigue advertising claim about ancient spirits and photography sales. Also contains school exam gaffes and oddities about explorers, the Mount Shasta signal, and a Danbury clerk’s wage.
