Risible Reading and Decline of a Debtor at Lime Kiln Club
A fragment from a Bristol page mixes a Burlington Free Press anecdote of a towel causing a street-wide scare with a humorous Lime Kiln Club episode where Brudder Clarence de Melville Bungs is expelled for debt. The piece blends odd notices, parlor humor, and ads, including patent medicines and salves, in a late 19th century style.
