A couple interesting articles elsewhere on the page where this was printed:

  • "Palestine Population Muchly Decreased"
  • "Cancer Cure is Being Formulated"
  • "England Reaches End of Tether: Minister of the Colonies Declares that England Will Offer Nothing More to Ireland."
  • edit: also a picture of Margaret Smith Wilkerson who sounds like a fascinating person

I have a few chickens myself. As soon as I saw the post title, I thought: Everett is going to kill a man.
