Entered in Troy post office for second class matter. Citizens urged to support home industries and advertise in the Cat. Exchange jokes warn of humbug, while stories praise promotion of trade, independence in Cuba, and a French quote on a wife. An Edwardsville anecdote and Carmi ordinance about gate obstructions are noted.
A fragmented editorial collage mocks gate laws and salary talk while wryly recalling Bill Nye’s death, a cattle show mixup, a Kodak joke, and a dream of a women-ruled city with pristine streets. Included are quips about editors, printers, and a hangings scene in a dream town.
