Midnight Flutes and a New England Homestead Tale
A Jamestown Journal piece intertwines a lyrical midnight flute motif with a long tale of Moses a New England farmer and his gracious act aiding a stranger in bitter winter. Years later Moses is honored by the stranger now a wealthy host who shares a tale of restored family and gratitude.
Silence of Nature and a note on tea plants
The piece extols nature's quiet processes from sunlight to planetary orbits and seasonal change, praising the unvoiced vastness of creation while contrasting soldiers and sailors. It closes with a forecast that the agricultural department will distribute one hundred thousand vigorous tea plants in months, with American grown tea expected in the market within five years.

Tartas Ear Pull Drinking Custom Noted
It is said Tartas invited men to drink by gently pulling their ears and locals often "take a pull" without ear pulling. A man recently bragged of a pleasant trip but inquiry showed he had tripped into a young lady’s lap.
