Scrivener's int ing talk and rustic rural notes
Reading through a noisy local column, residents are named with odds and ends of farm work. Grover Gerking visits, Barns rise on farms near town, and Jinks Taylor drives horses from town to Pendleton. An explosion during canning harms no one seriously, while a man steps on a rusty nail, then recovers. A Wild West show stuns the crowd as a roping stunt wins applause. A curious cross on the moon prompts a neighbor to fear judgment day, later explained by decorative window glass. A lighthearted drive with J N B G ends at Milton with wine, grapes, and a cheeky spin through a vineyard before a train trip.
