Obituary and odd notes mix in a century old column
A funeral in Maryland for Littleton Payne recalls a life of simple dentition and humor. The column then drifts through mint reports, California metal production, Blue Grass vs blue glass theories, carp in Litchfield ponds, and warnings about speculative rivers of wealth. It closes with train speeds, a Flying Dutchman note, and Baptist merrymaking at Minneapolis churches.
