A Misplaced Record and a Phonograph in Morse ville
A small village tale follows Abram Hawkins and his wife Jane Ann as a traveling phonograph agent promotes a talking machine. Jane Ann resists the device, deriding extravagance, while Abram debates the purchase. The town hosts a phonographic show at the church where a surprising unlabeled record ignites humor and social moment, ending with Jane Ann’s sharp rebuke and a village joke about the Hawkins household. The anecdote closes with a weight note on human hearts, contrasting normal and record weights.
