Banner editor mocks town papers and local officials
The piece critiques the local Banner and its rival in Marble Hill, lampooning readers and editors while noting Dr Crowe’s praise and a preference for decency. It highlights county court decisions to create a Glen Allen voting precinct and praises advancing mail and rail mileage, then shifts to scattered notices of deaths, fires, arrests, weather, and civic events across Cape Girardeau, Dexter, Kennett, and surrounding towns.
