A garbled extract from Jurh Billing’s new work Tramp Karis presents a string of aphorisms on marriage age, virtue, and heaven, followed by a humorous regional anecdote about Brother Gardner’s collapse and a reporter’s quizzing. The piece mixes dialect, philosophy, and crude wit, offered as readers’ entertainment.
An essay argues gossip destroys friendships and marriages, cites tears and estrangement from harsh rumors. It condemns slander as a weapon that wounds innocent lives and widens fault lines between husband and wife, friends, and family.
A fragmentary exchange notes that Machfahon has never had a child and cites Pehaw dismissively. The speaker reflects on love among fellows in the country and admits inability to recall the name of anyone who ever had no child.
A fragmentary humorous line hints at Mrs Brooks crafting a companion-pleen for a head titled The Coming Men. The eccentric verse suggests playful satire on future leaders, with wordplay on appearance and fate.
A Philadelphia Times piece recalls postwar hunger in the Confederacy with prices in 1866 Richmond. It covers Sherman and Sheridan campaigns ending the Lost Cause, Lee’s retreat, and a convoy’s failed attempt to reach Danville. It also notes a mare named Gildemith and her owner Budd Doble, detailing her racing record and earnings.
