Wet replies spark debate over liquor and politics in Denton Journal
Slats’ Diary by Ross Farquar rails at the August 5 column on liquor with a two part critique.

The diary section then shifts to a comic, misspelled recounting of everyday life from Friday to Thursday, including church, family, a bat sale, and nonsensical notes about Epoc and cloroform.
