Linton reminiscences mix taxes dogs fairs and burgers
The column mulls tax notices due in 1959 as budgets form in June August. It recalls a story about a wheat purchase and a comma misread, jokes about the Linton dog warning confusing police with dogs, and traces Fourth of July and Greene County Fair histories in Linton. It recalls Mrs. Lechien’s 1931 hamburger job and a 1923 church anecdote about ant hymn confusion.
