A scanned column from the Worthington Times reports on local issues including scarce food in the region, sheriff limits, and a “nothing to eat” complaint. It mentions a Washington Brass Band performance on the 26th, a protracted Baptist meeting, and plans to burn or lease brick pits. The piece notes unpaid subscriptions, civic notices, and upcoming social events for May.
Fragmented OCR text discusses ticket rules on trains, passenger decorum, and ejection for no ticket. It references Brigham Young, a potential sale of Mormon property, Washington administration actions, and a biograph by S. G. Goupalin. The piece is garbled with names and dates unclear.
A shredded line hints at a bread shortage and social tension. The text references the poor and a demand for bread, implying unrest and mutual aid in a time of scarcity, with a possible legal or civic response looming.
A verbose 19th century medical advertisement touts Dr Easterly’s tonics and Sarsaparilla for nonspecific fevers, liver complaints, mercury detox, and venereal diseases. It cites cures for scrofula, cuts, pimples, skin eruptions, kidney issues, and general debility, promising radical improvements with iodine and salves. It lists prices, suppliers, and multiple sales points in St Louis and Washington.
