The front page has some reports concerning the troubles in the South which would soon lead to the Civil War.
Page 4 has: "Abe Lincoln, the Rail Splitter, as a Cabinet Maker" which begins: "Honest Old Abe Lincoln, whose achievements as a splitter of rail now form part of the history of the country, has latterly been engaged in a new line of business..." with much more, taking over a full column.
