Circulation size matters less than reaching the right readers, as smaller papers with targeted audiences can outperform large circulations.

Old Dad the Good-Natured Landlord of Lowville
A loosely written reminiscence profiles a famed Lowville New York landlord known as Old Dad for his naïve kindness and trust in travelers. He once accepted a bogus bill from a guest who promised payment later, and after the guest later repaid him with the same bill, Old Dad was betrayed yet kept a forgiving stance. The piece also includes scattered, unrelated excerpts on temperance and excess in society, referenced in a wandering, editorial voice.
