The Walnut Prairie column reports high river levels, a lingering winter, and potential damage to peach crops from a cold snap. It notes wheat looking fine, oats awaiting snow melt, and nearby residents moving homes, with social jests and community chatter about farms, a Harlan sale, and county governance complaints.
The Messenger reports Melrose school closed on the 21st amid talk of spring hints and lingering snow. Across town, wheat prospects look poor and farm life features accompany debt disputes over a teacher salary scheme, with a threatened lawsuit over a wage schedule.
A quaint old author warns against arguing with ladies while spinning yarns among silks. The text rhymes about being worsted and twisted, suggesting one who is bested may feel wound up.
