A fragmentary collection features Exemiorr asking about birth and age at a Haldor barrack with playful mishearing about old buildings and locations. Stevie Rovauty, returning from Europe, tells a tale of court presentation and a police court. The humor shifts through dialect jokes about wives, religious quips, and rural observations on voices, horses, and babies.
A man from near Louisville wins 2100 in the state lottery, raising questions of wealth and justice. The piece also notes harsh talk about gun cotton and Mr Thornberrys failing to find fair treatment in law, with reflections on temperance meetings and unlikely justice.
