Wheat Is Our Best Hope For Edgecombe To End Poverty
Be Mon to-day Quinties or Be For ever Slaves urges planters to sow wheat now, warning that $262,500 yearly leaves Edgecombe for flour. The piece argues wheat can yield more money per acre than cotton and calls for abandoning poverty by growing staple grains at home. It critiques presidential ticket choices and favors Senator Ransom over Gordon, highlighting regional support.

Effect of late Election on Democrats and Wheat Advice
A Petersburg Index Appeal endorses Maj. Gregory and Gen. Ransom while praising his Senate record. It also includes editor comments on the 1876 election, the late wave against Democrats, currency debates, and insights from Reverdy Johnson and Gen. Gordon on how issues beyond currency shaped Northern outcomes. We also see farmer counsel urging November wheat planting to save costs and promote homegrown flour amid high seed prices.
