The Miser Moses Paytor and the Noblestown Hoard
A long, uneven tale from Noblestown follows Moses Paytor the miser who hoarded wealth for decades in a shabby shack. Neighbors watched for smoke from his chimney and the glow of a candle, and the town debated his legacy after his death. A search found only about 8 dollars cash and a single two dollar bill, revealing the hoard was largely illusory. villagers and relatives argued over the supposed fortune and the man’s guarded life.

The Yolk of an Eda Delusion Amid Lent Oddities
A fragmented, archaic text fragment recounts midwinter rituals, a gardener at work, and a fortune teller predicting marriage and children. The piece blends dreamlike dialogue with uneasy references to care, paternity, and societal expectations amid a chaotic, garbled narrative.
The Minnesota Nose and the Northern Boundary
A historical note traces how the United States and British possessions fixed the boundary along Lake of the Woods after 1783. A pole near the lake became the starting point, with surveys later placing it about twenty five miles north of the forty ninth parallel, creating a small territory north of the main line. The tale ends with a quirky fact: the only practical travel to reach the land is by water, making a jog in the boundary a curious piece of lore.
