Reflections on Mortality and A Pepper Gourd Mystery
A fragmentary notice blends meditation on death and the vanity of worldly strife with odd items. It mentions epitaphs and tombs, kings and holy men, and a July reference tied to Juliet. The piece also notes a Georgia gourd used for pepper for over two centuries and hints at Gilmer & Joyce rising as gold medalists.
