Wild Flowers and a Runaway Horse Tale in Rural Journal
A reminiscence by J. W. Dixon details spring wildflowers gathered beside rivulets and hillsides, including crowfoot, Johnny jump ups, wild columbine, and wild pinks, followed by a farmhorse named Dick whose antics with a plow and a runaway wagon end with a bruised driver and a wrecked wagon. The piece also notes community notices from Jefferson and Lander about church services, club events, and local gatherings.
