A reflective piece on the duties of country papers equals a call for balanced reporting. It urges attention to local crops and weather, nearby affairs, and not just distant sensational items, noting editorials from city papers often misjudge rural legitimacy and urging readers to seek both home and world news from their own columns. It also covers a forgery incident involving Rev. My. Kalloch and a fatal boiler explosion aboard the Propeller Fanny Garner, plus economic notes on Mr. Esterly’s reaper factory and a travel-advert type plug for Porter's Spirit of the Times.
