Abilene Reflector Highlights Oddities and Inquiries

It also notes anesthetic cocoaine origins, a Japanese sea burial tale, a Scituate fig tree, left-handed penmanship, Missionary Ridge fire, an eccentric painter prize, and a herring spectacle off Maine with farmers benefiting as fertilizer. A Ronkonkoma watch once owned by Marie Antoinette links to a chained lineage of American poets.
