This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. Page 2 has an article headed: "The Last Rites" "Obsequies of the Late James Lick--Procession of Pioneers--Memorial Address" Text takes up a full column.
This issue is not fragile as newsprint back then was made of cotton and linen rags, allowing them to remain very pliable and easy to handle. Complete in 8 pages, a little irregular along the spine, very nice condition.
