Odds and Ends from the South in Aquirked Anecdotes
A jumble of short items from the American South notes oddities and local color. A Georgia couple, ages 17 and 19, marries after long license hunts, a rabbit is trapped then released, and a man in Dooly County shoots lizards and crows from his fence line. A Georgia horse supposedly feeds itself, and a New Orleans merchant recalls a century old cotton shipment linked to multiple Georges Washingtons. The Calcutta dog tale ends with the dog shot and the mystery owner’s fate in question.
