Reunion Clock Prize and Local Notices in Upper Tonk 1891
Nearly all attend the reunion as the town empties. Akin & Co. sell drugs and advertise a prize clock. Coffman won by near timing. The column notes weather, farming tasks, visitors, threshing, molasses, a child’s arm fracture, and local births and marriages. Various ads urge drug purchases and warn about scalps and bond payments.
