Just An Average Day

In one frontier town on a single day they had two street fights, hung a man, rode three men out of town on a rail, got up a quarter race, a turkey shoot, and a gander pulling, a dog fight, and preaching by a circuit rider who afterwards ran a foot race for apple jack all around. And if this was not enough, the judge of the court, after losing his year's salary at a single-handed poker and whipping a person who said he did not understand the game, went out and helped lynch his grandfather for hog stealing.
