Book Description

Excerpt from Country Town Sayings: A Collection of Paragraphs From the Atchison Globe Be better than the average; the average wages received by men are pretty low. We frequently hear this said of highly respectable men: "He's a great old grandmother." When you are in trouble, people who call to sympathize are really looking for the particulars. A woman never returns from a visit to the cemetery without abusing some man for the way his wife's grave is neglected. An Atchison man's kin in New York is so rich that he'd rather not have presents than go to the trouble of saying thank you. A real Boston girl is visiting in Atchison, and says it is just lovely here. We can plainly see that that girl is going to make a hit.
