A reflective verse by Marion Douglas in Harper's Bazar traces a childlike plea for play from Master Care through the seasons. The speaker laments lost youth and joyous days, while the elder notes duties done and undone, ending with a quiet winter by the hearth as regret for missed laughter lingers.
In Crompton the orphan Swipes whose name was Harry Russell rises from a suspected thief to hero. He delivers a crucial telegram, confronts a wreck plot, chases a band of criminals by bicycle, saves No. 16 from disaster, is gravely injured, and later becomes chief train dispatcher. The tale highlights his grit, rise, and a high wheel trophy in a glass case.
A quirky old column narrates a bet over a brownstone house involving Mrs Lovey dovey and her husband, highlighting a cynical view of wagering with a wife as prize. The piece blends fable dialogue with a brief fable about a bird and ethics, then shifts to a short note on a rock boring shell fish called Pholas found along the Mediterranean coasts.
Governor Johnston extolled Alabama's vast resources and climate, urging industrial development. He highlighted iron ore, coal, forests, minerals, and ample waterways, with 3000 miles of rail and a year round temperate climate.
