Truthful Newspaper Turns Tides in Town Tale
A jeriticised editor vows to tell the truth after the town paper prints sharp notes about locals. John Blynnin is called lazy and travels to Bibville, John Coyla’s grocery business is weak, Rev Styx’s charity sermon is mocked, Dave Sankey dies of heart failure misattributed to whiskey, and a marriage between Sylvan Rhodes and James Coclin is described with harsh judgments. A public committee later pushes him to resume the old frank style.
