A bustling 1830 Winston-Salem fragment details the Montague & Grays Drug Store, local commerce, and town life. Mentions visits by Val Andre of Maj Yates surveying corps, factory builds, railroad notes, and a wave of crop forecasts, weather chatter, and civic notices from churches, schools, and associations.
The item lists hail destruction in Surry Yadkin and Stokes counties with crops ruined. It notes a funeral at Mt Airy for Henry Bray aged about twenty. Other brief notices cover church staff changes in Winston, illness of Rex Byron Spanash in Salem, and teachers’ certification by S. H. Everett with a future exam in October.
The York Baptist Weekly cites a clergyman writer arguing against wickedness in medicine and praising Bitters as a remedy. He claims it is unrivaled for family use and urges readers to rely on this traditional remedy, urging heartily endorsement.
The report notes some cigarettes were dangerous, analyzed by a physician showing opium impregnation. The article also covers Forsyth Court cases, river navigation updates, Moravian Church centennial plans at Hope, and other local notices including a jury bond and a rape suspect capture.
A fragmented OCR list shows commodities and prices such as mahogany items, wrappers, flour, meats, apples, cabbage, chickens, turkeys, dried fruits, berries, and other groceries. It reads like a sparse catalog with inconsistent spellings and scattered unit notes, typical of an old market page.
A collage of items from fashion goods and services appears in a fragmented Baltimore ad page. It lists scarfs, suits, dresses, cards, cigars, dress goods, musical instrument accessories, and various local merchants offering spring goods, tobacco, and clothes at discount prices. The items reflect a bustling late 19th century urban marketplace with multiple shops and brands like Smith's Drug Store, Montague & Gray, and Pfoul & Stockton.
