A jumble of light humor and witticisms from a historical Texas paper. Jokes cover doctors, success labels, child theft fears, bull charges, romances, Sioux references, and banter about farmers, clergymen, and mothers. The tone mimics a syndicated humor page with brief anecdotes and puns.
A survey of Texas items notes Forney's growth, Belton Salvation Army, Navasota Guard reorganization, mills at Moscow, rising Dallas opera house interest, Austin bank formation, and broad activity in real estate, immigration, and infrastructure from Uvalde to Abilene.

The anecdote contrasts nineteenth century gallantry with modern manners.
