Just Like the Smiths A New York Visitor and Local Vignette
A New Yorker in a New Brempatire tavern meets Abraham Smith who seeks news of his son Joab from New York. The talk shifts from prize fighting to preaching and later to Joab’s failed saloon venture and a failed debt. The villager quips that many Smiths exist and warns the stranger that debts with the family are hard to collect. The piece closes with a moral about moonlight and purpose.
