Hit or Miss Column by C. H. Leetlefellow
A collection of wry quips and notices on politics beer law and local scenes. It cites Taft Bryan and Darrow in playful digs while recounting a Johnstown minister turned brewer and a Harrisburg suicide attempt that ends with warmth and patience. The item closes with a Joliet homecoming and a town’s growth expectations.
