A Bachelor's Neveries and a New Postage Law
A humorous sketch recounts a man’s aging view from thirty to fifty with love losses and life lessons, ending with a marriage to his housekeeper. The issue then notes the new postage law taking effect January first, requiring publishers to prepay outside postage. The editor defends the paper’s stance and calls for support against congressional cuts. It also cites President’s Message on Indian policy and Homestead exemptions to calm border tensions. John Berkey is reported to have harvested 264 bushels of cloverseed from under seven acres.
