Town Talk Wit and Whimsy From a Busy Tableaux of Tales
A series of humorous vignettes from a local paper recounts scenes from daily life. A man jokes about nearly selling his shoes for half soles, a girl muses on a novel titled The Last Man, and Warsaw girls vow to avoid costly dress fabrics. A Georgia divine consoles a widow over a legislator's death. An omnibus anecdote has a boy finding a lost nickel or a button, while a mother and son argue about bread and butter during dinner.
