Two Ways to Account for It in Behalf of Tanner
The Lewisvill Courier-Journal mocks pension commissioner Tanner and relays a tale of a boy raised by a Bible, an apple, and a silver dollar to explain his rise. It cites a Western prodigy and a moral about a colt with God versus without God. The Fourth Annual Report of the State Board of Health highlights county health boards promoting sanitary measures, disease prevention, and water standards, with nationwide dissemination of guidelines. Beaver Bury letters praise No Man’s Land settlement prospects, urging emigration to Oklahoma Territory with promises of vast acreage, climate, and farming opportunity.
