RIFFS OF HUMOR AND LOCAL REPORTS FROM THE CITY
A column mix of light anecdotes and oddities. A Dover wedding rides a horse tram as a wedding trip. A Wright angler tale ends in a wreck. A shopkeeper misreads a name and mocks spelling. A dentist drives a gentleman “from hand to mouth” while a buyer purchases a rare carpet-beating line. Advertisements tout Dr King’s New Discovery and Carter’s Little Nerve Pills.
