Under Lome Land Anarchist, the writer catalogs grain hauling, field burning, hunting, salvage, policing, heritage, trade and tree work.

The catalog addresses workers through tools, fire, hunting and destruction. The marginal MARRYEr of / holy WOMEN extends the passage about the Anti-Christ salesman. Cancellations and insertions leave the argument about inheritance, government and church property unfinished; the figures are not independently identified.

A typed rural catalog titled 'Lome Land Anarchist': the grain hauler, the 'Great field burner', the night hunter, the 'Mad salvage-man of the junk yard plains', a 'Mexican policeman who dosen't understand war', a 'Traditional heritage keeper', the 'Anti-Christ stained glass salesman' with the margin note 'MARRYEr of / holy WOMEN', and the 'Dangerous wood cutter. Faller of oak.'

Each figure gets an epic epithet, and the handwritten additions push the portraits toward myth. Many insertions keep separate rows because their placement is uncertain.
