Song of good things and tender summer memories
A reflective piece blends a Riley style poem with local society notes. It shares a theme of tender joy amidst sorrow, mentions a Nichols like wedding in Little Rock, a parkins guest list, and a wave of August social events from Conway to Warren. The Iowa football preview closes the clipping with Tubbs preparing 70 candidates.
