A collection of notices and editorials urges readers to subscribe to TH CALL for two cents weekly, defends editors, and touts bargains from local advertisers while reflecting on public manners, immigration concerns, and city improvements. It notes the city council approving a Telegraph line, and cites anecdotes about fashion, labor, and a peculiar bone graft tale.
An exchange quotes a reform burglar fearing a newspaper, a wiffet dog, and a baby as dangers, while contrasting a home merchant’s civic role with editorials on politics and public duty. The piece mocks sensationalism and urges support for local papers and honest business.
