This is Justice Wyatt's court
day but he is not crowded with
business at this term.
Still cloudy, blustry and warm
but no rain. Our town is very
quiet and prospects favor a dull
Christmas. Slim chance for egg
nog; eggs scarce and worth
forty cents per dozen. Health
of this community good. 1 was
at Graball Sunday and after
visiting Baldridges "back room"
l heard a conversation outside
and on going out found that
constable A. D. Gee had ar
rived and arrested two freedmen
one for stealing a sack of -four
and a pair of shoes, and the
other a smart bragadocio from
Grimes county. Justice Wyatt
will doubtless send the shoes
and flour man to the county
court for theft. If our people
can live a little while longer we
will soon have plenty of hog
meat as a sow of y. D. Gees
brought forth eighteen pigs at
one time, which is her first lit
ter. Goodness knows how
many she will have about the
third time. S.
