Local society notes mix with humor in brash column
A collection of society items and stray jokes from a small-town page recounts social teas, club meetings, and hostesses like Mrs Binion and Miss Butler. It mixes anecdotes about a bank teller misreading an “aid” vs “fee” money, a racketeer’s jury tale, and various village gatherings with names: Van Binion, Blue Bonnet Club, Marfa guests, and several local families.
