Nicaragua canal aid urged by General Assembly
The General Assembly passed a resolution urging Congress to favor government aid for the Nicaragua canal. Local notes cite debate on Hawaii annexation, a claim the ex-secretary warned about, and Massachusetts savings figures. A Georgia farmer plans a large possum farm, while a Charleston mine describes a massive steam shovel at St. Albans Island in South Carolina.

Banker's rise from penniless orphan to Wake Forest patron
In Raleigh during the 1870s John G Williams, a Welsh immigrant and proprietor of John G Williams & Co., grew from a water carrier to a respected broker and banker. He aided others in need, supported education, and faced a tale of distrust when Dal Rymple failed to repay a loan, illustrating a lack of confidence in people.

Remembering court houses and corn of North Carolina
A fragmentary reminiscence recalls a North Carolina court scene with hogs and a sheriff, a simmon tree beating, and a journey to Kentucky. It shifts to a railroad era memory of the Raleigh Gaston line, Captain Horton, the Whirlwind engine, and Christmas 1850 travel between Warren Plains and Franklinton. A Des Moines dispatch notes Governor Boies declining a cabinet post due to his daughter's health, and a Chattanooga report questions Judge Jackson’s Supreme Court nomination with partisan aims alleged.
