PERMITTED
TO BUILD WHARF

By resolution of the city commits
sioners yesterday, B. J. Touart is
given a permit to build a wharf about
100 feet long, at the foot of Clubbs
street, for the purpose of handling
the fishing business conducted by him.
Two weeks ago it became known that
the grantees dock was on the site
granted to the Bruce Dry Dock Com
pany, hence the permission to build
at the other location. 1t is under
stood that the new arrangement is
agreeable to Touart.

JUBILEE SINGERS
SCORE BIG HIT

The.Hann Jubilee Singers ell
tertained a large and appreciative
audience in this city-at the high
school auditorium last Saturday
evening. This is an organiza-
ton of colored singers and musi-
clans, and they scored a decided
chit" here.
The lyric soprano of Madam
Talbert was a wonderful demon
stration of cultured voice. Her
singing caused many exclama-
tions Of surprise and extreme
satisfaction.
Another feature of the eve
ning's entertainment were the
many solos which were we'll rem
dered. The imitation of the
steam calliope by a quartet OF
colored gentlemen was as realistic
as imaginable. Two other fea.
lures Of the program were the
opera singing Of the entire com.
pany.
A quintet rendered selection.
from Verdi's Rigoletto and the
Sextet from Lucia.
All in attendance at the enter
tasnment last Saturday nigh
were we'll pleased with the per
formance and should the Ham
Jubilee Singers play a return
engagement in Julesburg, the,
no doubt will be greeted with 8
packed house.

All church work is moving oil
nicely. Two large audiences
greeted the pastor last Sabbath.
The Sabbath school attendance

year. 1t is earnestly hoped that
all who have been taking vaca-
tions from church duties or Sun

Some splendid people have united
with the church recently and
have earnestly taken their places
as active workers.
Miss Fifeld has been elected
chorister of the Sunday School.
MIR. and Mrs. Erb have come to
us from the Methodist church of
Gothenberg, Nebr. On a recent
Sunday Mr.. Erb's splendid voice
was heard in a solo at the MORN
ing worship. We hope he will
favor us often. On last Sunday
morning Miss Boylan's beautiful
solo fell as q bcnediction upon the
hearers. Julesburg is unusually
fortunate in having so much tai
ent and we hope often to hear all
of our talented people in their
special lines.

THE HOMES OF SAVANNAH

In the real estate transfers of the
past few weeks can be seen that much
city property in Savannah has been
changing hands. Those who wish to
locate in good town where school
and church privileges are good. and
where living among an intelligent class
of people is a consideration, come to
Savannah. ., So
Not only the new comers thus
secure a good home amid pleasant
siIrroundinass-7btt they have the as
surance that the property they buy
will not dsteriorete in value but is al
most certain to show a steady in
crease. Much the same can be said
of other ANDREW county towns. and

ering is the splendid railroad facili-
ties afforded most every section OF the

four or five armored U. S. Army cars
went through Bethany. They came
from the west and went east. The
''boys" who were with them refused
to tell where they were from or where
they were going, simply stating that
they "were not putting out any in

OF commission and was left in the
garage for repairs, two of the soldier
boys remaining with the car. The
car was covered with u inch steel,

At that time there were only two

there were only three houses. He

Uncle Alex" Greenwell has surely
Ivy this time begun to feel at home in
Gentry county as he has been a res
idcnt here for II years According to
Uncle Alex. there is only one per-
son living now who was in this sec
tion when he came here, that being
Mrs. J. T.. Mcclure, of Darlington.
Mr.. Greenwell reached his Goth
milestone of life last Monday, and
even at that advanced age he is able
TO outwalk many men who are twenty
or twenty-five years younger than he.
During his long life he has been eX-
cpEtionally free from sickness, and
has had an active career. Even yet
he takes personal interest in tho af-
fairs of his farms. His mind is alert.
and he keeps abreast of the times in
the world events.
Mr.. Greenwell was born in Hardin
county, Kentucky, November 10,
1927. When boy he moved with his
bdi'lil9 w 'NilhglSl NDulNg' lllillpAof
and I'm June 1S4O. came to this section
Of the state. With the exception of
about one year he has been a contin-
uous resident here ever since. His
father was Robert GrecnweH, and in
the family who came here was the
father and mother, seven boys and
girls. or the family only two are
now living. Mr.. Greenwell and a sis
ter, Mrs Jane Chick, who lives in

later and on which he had made his
home until recently. lie kept on ad-
ding to the tract until he secured 500
acres Of some of the best land In the

meat that could be secured with little
trouble
For a good many years there was
not buggy or carriage in the county;
and when Some progressive settler
bought new rig he was looked upon
as when mon first began to buy auto
mobiles In the later days. The old
oxen team was the standard mode of
travelling for a LONG time.
There was very little money in the
country in those days and Mr. Green
well said he has gone weeks and
weeks without even seeing a coin.
Deer hides. beeswax and honey were
articles of trade. A good OK would
bring s25. a good milk cow SO, but
it took an extra fine horse to he worth
s25.
During the early days "Uncle Alex"
says the floods of Grand river came
every seven years with unfailing reg
ularity and that on the seventh year
they made preparations for the over
flow. In 1S44 the river was out over
the bottoms three times. In these
days there were no crop failures he
says: the ground was fresh and crops
would grow in spite Of drouth or
flood One Of the first and nearest
neighbors the Greenwells had was
James Patton and family who came
In 1871, and bought a claim in the
Patton neighborhood.
Mr.. Greenwell says the commits
sioners to locate the county seat for
the new county of Gentry decided on
the location Of Albany because Of a
never failing spring which was To-
Gated here. Mr.. Greenwcll's father
bought the Uundley lot west OF the
square from the late J. b. Hundley and
paid $25 for it.
The Social Whiri.
The early settlers were not with
out their social times. and many OF
the old people look back on "the good
old times" and think they got more
real enjoyment out OF life than the
/ young people who go at such a fast
/ pace at the present time. He was a
guest at the marriage of VIM. Ray
and Jaley Richardson, and the event
was one of prominence in the county
The guests stayed all night and the
next day they had a big infare dinner.
/ one OF the table decorations was a
big nest filled with eggs and with a
hen setting on them. A big wash tub
was half filled with custard and all
the guests would help themselves to
their capacity. OF course they dan
ced at the wedding and it was one Of
! the big sports Of all gatherings. He
has danced many times with Grand
ma Mcclure.
Mr. Greenwell can talk by the hour
of the early days and it Is a pleasure
to be able to draw him out and hear
It is a pleasure to know that notwith-
standing his four score years and ten,
he is blessed with good health, bodily
and mentally. and that because he
has grown old ne does not feel like he
is out OF harmony with the times.
May he continue to enjoy life for
many years to come is the wish Of all
his friends.-Albany Ledger.
