Local Shop Talk and Hodgepodge Notices Sweep the Town
Market chatter on drugs and hats at Finke's, Capper & Shaffer, and Smith's along with sales on tobacco, salt, and ladies shoes. Local theatre, hogs Jumbo the 970 pounder, and a tale of a judge and probate mix inspire neighbors as weather and river ice reshape daily life. Also reports on rail delay, a death in Willow River, and a Missouri editor’s satirical verse on suffrage.
