RISIBLE READING AT THE BRISTOL PHOENIX

Irrepressible Boy and Odd Obituaries in a Fragment

An irrepressible boy’s retort about sugar and cream at a strawberry party appears amid a string of rural sketches and notices. The column parodies farm life and local death rites, interspersed with advertising blurbs for patent medicines and household products.

Woman Marries Stranger to Escape Temptation in Erie Court
