A Word to the Wise from the Hico News Review
A humorous moral urges subscribing to the Bronte Enterprise. A stingy man borrows a neighbor’s paper and a cascade of mishaps follows: bees sting a boy, trousers ruined on a barbed fence, a cow eats green corn, churn cream spills on chickens, false teeth drop, a carpet ruined, and a dog frees setting hens while clothes are damaged. The tale ends with the warning not to borrow neighbors’ papers.
