A faded, quirky local column describes a rash rescue adventure featuring an unnamed hero and Bevindas swept into a pell-mell chase. The piece notes advertising support from Franklin County businesses enabling community news.
Uncle Dan riffs on church fashion and weathered preacher lines. He mocks women hats and a practical pastor while joking about air conditioning and a slow country cure for politicians. The column ends with a fishing tale and a quip about Ed Doolittle’s bath tub trout.
A column of jokes and anecdotes unfolds with jokes about drunks, gas station talk, a hoss tler, a boy’s prayer, a traveling salesman, marital quips, school photos, authors, and a preacher’s speech. Brooks Hays on public speaking is noted, with a classifieds prompt to buy or sell in the Preston Citizen.
