Wondering Count Bont and Wall Street Sicily in The Athena Press
A satirical column reviews a mix of topics from Count Bont and Mrs. Russell Sage to brigands in Sicily. It jests about Wall Street status in Sicily, a divorced couple reunited by their baby, and humorous quips on politics, journalism, marriage, orthography, and cultural notes across figures like Ida Tarbell, Roosevelt, and Webster with light, period-voice irony.

Fall Road Work Promises Better Spring Routes
In a discussion on rural infrastructure, fall road work is praised for deeper ditching, better drainage, and easier use by horses and machinery. It emphasizes finishing tasks, mowing vegetation, and planting trees along highways to prevent snow drifts and enhance property value, while noting farmers face labor demands at harvest time.
