It is a fact that we all like the moon
shine. We have one man in our town
who has more friendship connections
with the moon than the rest of us hui
man creatures. He would like to have
the moon shining every night. He
we think-takes more interest in the
visage Of the moon than he would In
one of prima donna. Remember, we
did not get this story from the Nor
folk News correspondent at the moon,
or from the man in the moon" This
gentleman Is nobody else than our
city marshal, F. X. Cornett, because,
when the moon shines he doesn't have
to fill up, clean up and light up the
two dozen street lamps, and it does
not interfere with his salary.
