Silver Creek
Versus
Golden Gulch
BY A. B. LEWIS

row Silver Creek and Golden
Gulch became one was brought
about in this manner: For
many years keen rivalry had
existed between the two towns, which
were only stones throw from each
other Both claimed TO be head and
shoulders above the other in enterprise
and progressivencss, and one never
made move In public Improvement
that the other did not 20 it one better.
When Golden Gulch built town hall
two stories high. Silver Greek built one
of three stories. When Silver Creek
erected new Jail, It's citizens had
hardly begun to crow over the matter
Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1903-12-11

when Golden Gnlch was
working overtime to build
q better one.
And in all other matters
there was rivalry Even
when four dwellings
burned In Silver Greek
one night Golden Gulch
sacrificed five OF its build
ings. just TO keep ahead
in such matters.
1t had been about an
even thing between the
two towns when one day
Bill stevens caused con-
sternation in Golden Gulch
by bringing In the news
that Silver Creek was
preparin' fur the whop-
pinest C'ris'mus ceiebra-
shun ever known In the
