The Tragedy of the Barnyard and Table Etiquette Hints
The piece blends a humorous rustic table manners piece by the Rev. Baxter from Texas with a long column noting Thanksgiving themes. It includes a satirical sermon about dining and a burst of editorial on Thanksgiving as a patriotic festival, plus statistics on U S cotton manufacturing and a note on women's suffrage in Iowa.
