Christmas requests from Decatur Alabama children

A column of Santa letters from 1928 with multiple Decatur area youngsters listing Christmas wishes. Children request dolls, doll beds, tricycles, dishes, bunk sets, toys, a ukulele, skates, candy, fruit, nuts, and clothing, signed by names and addresses in Decatur Alabama.

Mistaken identities and quirky quips from a playful column

A mixed collage of jokes and verse fragment scenes begins with a headline claim and moves through a jumble of humorous lines. It includes a boy mislabeling an animal, a giraffe neck curiosity, manners about stable minds, and witty exchanges about homes and love expressed in dated light verse.

Short Turns To Squander Time

A collage of aphorisms on budgeting honesty and effort. It notes time and money waste, balance through spending less or earning more, and the value of moral courage with a spouse’s support. It ends with a quip about eavesdropping and a children’s scene in autumn.
