Unemployed Hoboes Turned to Work by Warner Mission
A Washington DC park project led by Brainard H. Warner, head of a Gospel Mission, recruited 73 clergy and laity to witness a program turning former hoboes into grounds workers. Workers, clothed and fed, earned one dollar per day as they clear land in Wesley Park and Woodrow subdivision, with a holiday declared at luncheon under the trees.

Licensed to Marry Amid Fractured OCR Names
A garbled license notice lists numerous names, ages, and locations across Virginia, with many OCR errors. Couples such as Morton Marks with Hannah Demormer, Patrick Faoning with Annie Devany, and Richard Booth with Cecil Moore appear among scattered Rev. clergymen, pausing mid and cross state lines. The fragmentary text preserves the basic marriage license record structure but obscures many full details.
