The Troy Weekly advertises a weekly call issued by B W Jarvis of the Madison County Press Club and Southern Il Editorial Association. It notes subscription options with durations and prepaid rates, dated Friday October 23, 1014.
A reflection on breach of promise damages and gender equality. The piece recalls a historic verdict awarding a woman damages for a broken engagement and questions whether such awards should be gender neutral or equal for men and women in changing social norms. It notes few male breach cases and muses on fairness and evolving standards.
The piece argues that paying 40 cents a dozen is fair only if eggs are fit for food. It condemns rotten eggs from hedge nests and eggs containing chicks, calls for higher poultry standards, and criticizes past beliefs that any hen can produce without proper care. It warns of dirty, shelter-deprived conditions leading to tainted eggs on the market.
An editorial paragrapher condemns General Sherman’s definition of war, calling it an insult to hell, and asserts the concept is echoed in modern European conduct. The piece reflects heated wartime rhetoric and critiques casualty strategies.
The piece exults autumn hunting days with vivid call to chase game across thick underbrush. It repeats Nimrod and Diana as symbols, approving gun, belt, and rifle joy while inviting guides and hunters to roam, but ends with a macabre plea for a swift coroner to end lingering remains.
A town's growth mirrors its citizens effort. Emphasis on self improvement, knowledge and wealth builds independence for Troy. Calls for an aggressive progressive commercial organization to share responsibility and prevent reliance on a single group. Mentions naval arms shift and ratified treaties with Ecuador, Greece, and discussions on the Dominican and Panama Republics.
True Worthy Blackman, 70, runs as Progressive candidate for Clayton Missouri constable. His campaign card declares in bold lines that voters who oppose him may go to hell for all he cares and that he does not care much for the office anyway.
A local editorial argues that constructing a new business block on a main street serves as a lasting tribute to the Trojan community better than a stone monument in the cemetery. It highlights civic development as a living memorial grounding local pride in growth and commerce.
A Fort Wayne girl reportedly wed a man after he wrote his name on a fresh egg, an anecdote that sparked local amusement and a lighthearted reflection on romance and luck in marriage proposals.
Local readers are urged to contribute news and notices to the paper to create a collective voice for the community. Readers are invited to share events, achievements, and stories to build a fuller record of town life.
In a curious note many men recall Prezemysi as a place, yet few can produce the exact bocksaw in question. The fragment hints at a local anecdote or riddle linking a known locale to an elusive tool. Authorities or storytellers offer no firm solution.
Readers wonder who the anonymous “Observer” is as the columnist jokes about being misidentified by locals. The piece lampoons lavish luncheons and public eating while arguing wasteful entertaining fuels social and economic divides and questions how households cope with hard times.
Nation's Capital Figures show since August 18 last, 76 vessels totaling 271,526 gross tons have shifted to the American flag under the ship registry Act. 64 came from British registry, 7 from German, 5 from Belgian. Average tonnage is 3573. Officials term this a near 50 percent gain in efficient tonnage.
A fragmentary poem by Herman Hagedorn speaks of doors that shut and a lingering sorrowful distance as a child seeks entry, followed by street glimpses of old club talk and wry exchanges, ending with a lamp that obeys its owner’s steps and tames itself.
A reflective piece notes how Michigan and Wisconsin dominate Lake Michigan breezes while Illinois and Indiana claim shore access. It contrasts resort towns like Chicago and Milwaukee with inland visitors who squander money and risk hazards, praising the lake's allure and warning against reckless leisure and hasty spending.
