Variety of odd clippings from small town notes
A miscellany of short items from early 20th century papers includes Sadie Pratt’s birth place filing in Shutesbury, a nine year old in Merced given a “good talking to” for mumps, Tommy Piper buying goldfish for grandparents’ anniversary, a caterer dispute at a meeting interrupted by a phone call, Gov Langlie’s list of articles copied, a vow of “sweetness and light” at the Haverhill Gazette, a lobsters hatchery babysitting challenge, car cost comparisons with 1910 tooling, prank calls to St Peter, a man bitten by a snake, and Senator Frank Smith tired of rowdy cats outside his residence.
