The Ghost Who Hungers for a Tombstone Accent
A narrator, visiting Mr Figg in the story, assists with a haunting by Dr Constantine Blessing. The ghost haunts the shop over an omitted accent on a Pindar quotation, demanding the door key to finish engraving his monument. The deed ends with the ghost fading after the task is resolved and the living man left to forget where his tools are.

Meadowlark Field Lark in Alabama Winters
The meadowlark magna varies in southern Alabama as a common winter resident with uncertain southern limit. Specimens from Sand Mountain to York, Uniontown, and Leighton show migration mostly in spring, while Beal notes 26 percent of diet insects like crickets and grasshoppers. The bird is sociable, feeds on insects and seeds, and helps reduce cotton pests in winter.

Forest fires leave Alabama farmland dry and taxed
State forestry shows severe drought and low water levels across Alabama. Last year’s fires destroyed mulch that protected soil moisture, with nearly half the land burned when both wildfires and owner ignitions are counted. Fire use declines yearly as harm outweighs supposed benefits. Also notes a Blue Springs Y M C A convention program and local notices including public tax vote and legal proceedings.
