The classified sections advertise wagons, buggies, a cook stove, and feed oats from local businesses including J.A. Hayes & Sons and the Monitor Meat Market, while a commodity report lists wheat prices by grade.
Community announcements include Ladies Aid fundraising for a parsonage, a church chicken supper, military conscription notices, and Red Cross Society meeting details. Two marriage announcements are printed (Saske-Bach and Liknes-Lae).
The serialized novel is identified as by Katharine Tynan, published by Ward, Lock & Co. Chapter XIX, "Omens and Portents," follows protagonist Hilary Strangways on the French coast near Audignac, where he joins Gervase Langton. Strangways tours the coastal village and surrounding landscape, meeting a priest and shepherd. An editorial titled "Three Years Too Late" critiques the Pope's recent peace proposals regarding World War I, arguing they would have been more effective in 1914.
