A garbled 19th century text narrates a tale about a famous discourse and a mystery involving soda water times. It mentions Buncombe and decayed apples, with a fragmentary account of events and a narrator named Chuer Sun Dhue. The piece reads as a curious historic jumble.
Readable fragments describe a community saga of crime and punishment. References to a colored voucher, Alberttly, and a speaker named El- Qee Rymley appear amid vivid allusions to African American culture, labor, and public concerns. The piece hints at hearings, personal testimonies, and social tensions.
A long spoofing column from Narragansett Pier dated August 21 1895 discusses fashion style smart crowds at the Newport area, praising elegant dress and parasols while lampooning trends. It weaves in stories of a Boston beauty, romance elements, and humorous asides about society women and a Puritan tale of princes and soldiers.
The piece recounts how Congressman Sore of Obie explains his rise from a 12 year old apprentice in a tobacco factory to a leading entrepreneur with thousands of workers and large tax payments, stressing patience and timing in tariff-driven profits. It also covers Congressman Cooper of Indiana defending Alfred Barren in a Shiloh era case, highlighting a self defense plea and a judge’s bias leading to an appeal and acquittal.
In a dim drawing room Cynthia Lester aged twenty two awaits Rex Hawthorne as a February visit renews a long promised engagement. He arrives with a note declaring their probation ended and love renewed, prompting playful reminiscence and a tender exchange about past sighs and nerves before their reunion.
