Ringgold Record Mount Ayr, Ringgold County, Iowa January 4, 1877
TIMELY TIP
Preachers should not fail to be on time when going out to dine. A couple of dispensers of the gospel went out the other
day and were to be on hand at 12 0'clock. My host waited until the clock pointed to one, and not being able to stand the
pressure, 'slid out,' leaving the remains of the dinner for those reverend gentlemen to eat when they chose to put in their
tardy appearance.
