Parson Williams was given 14 thumping whacks with a mule's belly strap. Then Willie Sue Blagden got four solid clouts. Governor Futrell and the local sheriff protested that the Weems "funeral" was only propaganda, that Frank Weems was still alive, but their pooh-poohing paled beside a published photograph of Willie Sue Blagden exposing a plump thigh bearing a large black & blue mark...

Catholic papers do not make much money. Each diocese has its local sheet, usually vended near the church on Sunday. Price of the paper (1? to 5?) seldom covers the expenses of the publication. Advertisements are often of the sort not acceptable to the lay press. Manhattan's Catholic News, which bears the recommendation of Cardinal Hayes as "a friendly, newsy paper," carries the advertising of foot masseurs, $2 doctors, "a Gonzaga University Priest Chemist's" preparation for the hair.
