The column riffs on local notices and editorials including a Maxwell 680 and Empire 6 cylinder sale by W M Crain, mixed with satirical quotes from the Waco Times Herald and Seguin Enterprise. It riffs on prohibition, cigarette bans, and a boxing veteran turning evangelist, ending with Lockney Beacon’s note on Dr Barton meddling in Texas politics.
