Four Mile School House Spelling Bee Turns Tide on Squire Hepner
A nostalgic reminiscence details the Four-Mile schoolhouse in Greenaway township where Harriet Hepner and the crippled Sam Waitely duel in a town spelling bee. Sam's perfect spelling of challenging words wins the prize, softening the squire's temper and leading to a days-long spell-off and reconciliation with Mrs Waitely's family.
