A compact village page notes the Troy Illinois post office paper The Call offers news at one dollar yearly. While bits cover a jail term and a sheriff ride, they also report curios from Bordeaux and Holly Michigan.

A mix of notes on a Me tropolis reward offer for firebugs, a speckled beauty club in Centralia for freckled young ladies, post office burglary near Road house, and farm shifts to cow peas. Local crime, customs, and tech talk mingle with jokes about Norwegian bread, horse versus bike, an electric plow, and a comical express sale egg scare. Subscribe for THE CALL. $1.00.
