Local village notes mix humor and hardship in Martinsville
Zeke Hawkins hauled cord wood to Martinsville last Saturday and sold it for three dollars to buy a palm beach suit for two dollars ninety eight cents. Deacon Ebbersole notes dull cobbler trade from barefoot season while Doc Meradden treats Ed and Ed Jr after plum binge. Jim Spivins plans to enlist as mule driver in the Mexican war as Ebbersole fractures a wrist in a cherry tree fall. Reverend Perkins laments forty one cents collected at church last Sunday and twenty five dollars spent on Fourth of July pleasures. The town endures heat and a stolen pump handle leaves the town dry aside from Ed Bascombe’s bar. A mule foal born to Jim Silvers is named Teddy Roosevelt.
