A Week of Local Whimsy and Patchwork Tales

A diary style column chronicles daily snippets from a Maryland town. Monday ponders Wendell Willkie’s talking points, while readers note a rabbit near a church, a condemned summer hotel, and a busy garbage season. Tuesday covers a new diner, a coffin pillow theft tale, and dry weather corn. Wednesday enjoys Vienna echoes, Smithsburg’s cool breeze, and pillow proof fans. Thursday laments cooler air at Panghorn Park and debates if patriot songs inspire more than singability. Friday recalls vaudeville quips, hints of autumn, pet turtles fed by a joking youngster, and chatter on local fences and ads.
