Cotton at Home and Abroad, The Wounded as Overseers of Plantations While Owners are Gone, Farmers Not Extortioners.
An editorial upholds the freedom of the press, while another encourages farmers not to hoard provisions, and another implies that provisions should be willingly supplied to soldiers' families and the government. A suggestion is made that discharged, wounded soldiers be made overseers of farms. Minutes for the Patriotic Planters of Washington County are included. An article encourages syrup to be given to slaves in place of bacon to preserve resources and allow for their appropriate nutrition. A few brief articles discuss women's roles.
