Clown Plays Church Organ in Indiana Church Tale
Local correspondent recounts a Wells county inspired Atlantic church scene with a painted clown at the piano and a sermon on sowing and deception. The piece blends rural life humor with a sermon on moral danger as the crowd processes through daily worries about crops taxes and housing. Several town residents are noted, including Bert Buffington of Van Buren and Dell Hewitt, with health and work updates. The Dunkard Church harvest meeting is announced for August 6.
