Watson humor columnist riffs on town life and politics
A long satirical column from Watson recounts a mock stockyards game cock fight led by the mayor and local figure Bill Cheesman, with digs at a barber, electric service debates, local travel notes, school literary efforts, and a parade of townsfolk. It blends humor, local names, and civic jokes in a breezy village chronicle.
