...very interesting finds were made Wednesday by some workmen who were digging in the Yard for the purpose of replanting trees. A pair of old coins and a rusty key were unearthed, buried more than six feet below the surface of the ground. One of the coins is dated 1787.

Mr. Henderson's local color is well painted; his realism (although I draw the line at mention of "Aunt Hitty's old entrails" being "stirred to the depths"--especially after Mr. Gowdy's remark that Jim Gowan's rival had not "a white spot in 'im from the guts up") is undeniably effective...
