Hills and Hymns Mixed in an Odd Rural Patchwork
A fragmented 19th or early 20th century style piece blends verse on hills in Tennessee with odd endorsements and social commentary. It includes a sunlit scene of hills, a stray reference to Peave, a jab at fashion, and a digression on bathing-beach manners and policing, concluding with an advertisement for Muckten's Aroiva salve and assorted remedies.

The piece recalls Goldsmith and his Deserted Village with a Tennessee angle, detailing Purdy in McNairy County, the rise of Selmer as the county seat, and the decline of the old town as the railroad and politics shifted. It names Marcus J. and John V. Wright and Col. D. M. Wilson among notable residents and laments the town’s desolation.
