Beason election omen and local notes in 1800s column
Long fragment from a rural 19th century paper mentions frost, the People’s Party, harvest fortunes, and emigrants returning from Missouri. It notes a farmer Abraham Weldy with gloria mundi apples and large cider output, plus social vignettes about fashion, courtship, and a clergyman breach of promise suit.
