No names were used in the article, but everyone in town knew it was Tot. She had uprooted an awful lot of her bushes, and her yard was just a mess. Upon hearing her charge in court of aggravated assault, Tot had remarked to the judge, “You’re damn right I was aggravated. The son of a bitch was cheating on me!” She was let off with a warning.

THE WHOLE TOWN’S TALKING

* * *

by Mrs. Ida Jenkins

This week, the whole town’s talking about the recent wedding of Miss Norma Jenkins and Mr. Macky Warren. And in case you didn’t know, I was the happy mother of the bride! Goodness, I don’t know how other mothers can hold up under all the pressure of picking just the right outfit. Miss Howard in Ladies’ Better Wear at Morgan Brothers Department Store was a tremendous help to me. And after days, we finally settled on a lace-trimmed dress and jacket in eggshell pink with shoes, hat, and gloves to match. The bride was lovely in white satin. The couple is honeymooning and will return this time next week.

Other topics of conversation this week: Stratford-upon-Avon has nothing on us. Thanks to Ander and Beatrice Swensen, a charming pair of adult swans were purchased and are now happily gliding along in their new home in our own city park. Let’s hope they are a married couple. It would be so much fun to see baby swans. I am told they are gray in color, hence the moniker “Ugly Duckling.”

Just a reminder, a front lawn says so much about the people who live inside. What does your lawn say? Does your lawn reflect your personality? Hint: Neatly clipped bushes and freshly laundered curtains in the window are always a sign of an orderly home.
