Local Cats Rule A Watson Tom Keeps Kittens
A Tom cat from the Paul A Watsons fathered kittens with a Parker female. The Parker female was killed, the Tom retrieved the two kittens and is nursing them at the Watson home. Also noted is a cafe incident where Jack Harris asked Floyd Hall to substitute Northern Fried Chicken, and Floyd joked about the North end while serving Southern, then served the usual dish. A Scan magazine item reflects on a grammar headline and a reader’s quip about who should be laid off. Flower boxes near the First National Bank are tended by Carol Tefteller and Joy Wallace, praised for their green thumbs.
