During ramble around Newbold few
days ago encountered relic of the past
in the shape of wooden slab about x IA
feet, lying upon hillside opposite the
r. r. station. 1t resembled huge sign
board and had inscribed upon it the legend
"Newbold" in white letters about eighteen
inches high, painted upon dingy black
ground. 1t seemed to have been used to
mark the site of the village, and looked as
though it had once stood erect and faced
the passenger platform at the station
Upon inquiry Of an old settler l learned
that surmises were correct. 1t was erected
many years ago by the Newbold Improve
ment Company for the purpose of drawing
attention to the location as favorable site
for town. My informant, who was old
enough to have ''grown up with the town, y
said ''the Improvement Company used to
have sale of lots occasionally, but as they
are all sold now, and there being no further
use for the sign, it was allowed to lie in the
weeds and grass to rot. There was an air
of sadness about the old sign, and it re-
minded me somewhat of the fate that
Details humanity. When we have outlived
our usefulness we are cast aside and left to
lie as wrecks stranded upon the shores Of
time" hope some kind-hearted individ-
ual will take it up tenderly'' and, if it is
Of no further value, have it converted into
kindling wood, as it is an eye-sore to the
public in its present position.
