Grand Ball at Live Oak Hall and local reflections
A fragmentary reminiscence blends religious strictness with old Puritan zeal and a dangerous snakes tale, recounting squire Hadley’s stern piety, public punishments, and a boyish prank that escalates. It closes with an announcement for a grand ball on Friday August 10 featuring the Womack firm Band and a local sales pitch for Weevil Machines advertised by The Clifton Record and the Dallas News.
