Fete tale and geese spark Harvey reminiscence
Interesting Weekly News reports in Harvey Iowa two tales from nearby towns. A dentist-made Fourth of July prank in Pella involved drilling corn kernels and tying streamers to geese, causing chaos as birds pulled by strings fled and shed the decorations. The piece notes revival services at the M E church, a call for a local Boy Scout troop, and Marion county pheasants being released. It also mentions a Missouri visitor, Ward A. Cutler, and local business moves by George Nail and his brother William entering coal mining.
