Coon hunting night thrills greenhorns and old timers
The narrator recounts a late night coon hunt with Dr. Gerard Virgil Bales and others. Dogs treed fast, a river chase, a bushy fight with an exceptionally large coon, booted river crossing, a grape vine climb to locate the quarry, and a final dramatic finish before a 3 a.m. return. The night ends with rumors of a restaurant bragging about their catch and plans for another expedition.

Advertising’s cost falls to the nonadvertising merchant
The piece argues that merchants who do not advertise ultimately pay for their competitors’ ads. It states advertisers recoup costs and gain profit while nonadvertisers cover the advertising bill through reduced sales and profits.
