Poking Fun and Prose Memoir Pieces From a Bygone Paper
A long collection of witty quips, social observations, and brief notes on marriage, work, and manners.

The piece also lists statistics on teachers, immigration, rail improvements, and patent history, concluding with rail and locomotive notes.
Varied 1900s Notes on Money, Worry, and Global Tidbits
A collage of brief items references New York City’s municipal workforce, misdirected mail, Ringling Bros. circus “two teams of Zebras,” a Topeka envelope sealing machine, Ireland’s population drop, and ideas on worry, life improvement, and social observations. It mentions Paris cleanliness, Paris scavengers, glue recipes, mining prospects, German use of potatoes for alcohol, and a note on ink fading.
Rural readers urged to tidy yards and boost farming
