This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. Page 4 has an article headed: "Chronicles Of Crime" "Excitement at Mound City Over the Lynching of Howard" and more. (see images)
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 16 pages, minor irregularity along the spine, very nice condition.
