Not Walnut Wood Joke Sparks Rhode Island Exchange
A Burrillville farmer selling not walnut wood in Providence fools a wealthy buyer with its name and price. The buyer wagers seven dollars a cord, claiming it burns slowly and brightly, but discovers the joke when the bark blackens and the wood proves unusable. The tale prompts a town joke about a cashless society and weekly payments.
