Mourning Customs in the South Pacific
An authority notes curious mourning practices in the South Pacific where widows wear their late husband's hat and widowers don dresses of their wives. Mothers lay on their backs trousers of a deceased child instead of shawls. The piece humorously proposes economic benefits and no costly holiday dress bills.

Prize paragraph from Ashville mentions Hattie Massey and family
A Norfolk style clipping reports the death of Hattie Massey of Madison county aged 65 born without limbs yet of high intellect and energy. It notes her devout Baptist faith, her large family of Massey and Bevis parents, and that the father left each child a farm. It ends with a humorous verse about editors and a mishap involving a hearse in Altoona.
