Baffling Old-Time Jokes and Oddities Sparkling in Cracked Ledger
A faded column of humorous snippets and parlor witticisms from a Georgia court scene, a joke about hanging laundry on a horse, a quip about Cleveland and Ohio City, and a hodgepodge of legal and social jests. The verses reveal a bygone era’s wit and local flavor, with names and places sketched in brief.
