The area has been blessed with many people who come up with their own quotes and put them out for everyone to see. The late W.L. Moorhead, the first editor of the Hopkins Journal, was one such person. Dr. Stan Andrews of Stanberry put up quotes on his signboard regularly, a tradition continued by Dr. Fallon (Cordell) Steins. For many years, the late Charlie Mac, even after he handed over most of the operation of the Times-Tribune to Chase, held forth in Nut Quads every week, even when he was on vacation.
From his October 21st, 1976 ad in the Hopkins Journal, here is the wit and wisdom of Farmer Boyd:
“Youngsters sure brighten up a home. Whoever saw one of them turn off a light?”
***
“Lawyer to Prisoner: I’ll carry this case to the highest court in the land – but in the meantime, you’d better try to escape.”
***
“The husband who brags he never made a mistake has a wife who did.”
***
“Neighbor: A person who is always doing something you can’t afford.”
***
“It’s a bad day when I haven’t done something for a client.”
