A local-color humor item headed 'MAINEISMS' in the Oxford Democrat, filed as 'Greenwood Correspondence' (Greenwood, Maine), describes an unnamed itinerant peddler of 'Yankee notions' who passed through as 'black enough to be an Ethiopian jew, and so ugly we half believed him to be a twin ... to His Satanic Majesty. No sale.' The peddler is not named and no further detail on him is given; the item is derisive local-color commentary rather than a documentary account, but it is another data point in the corpus's wider research thread on itinerant black/Ethiopian Jewish travellers noted in the 1890s-1900s American press (cf. hist_event 20106, 20110, 20134, 20161, 20212).
