It seems that our beautiful days
are getting scarce just now and the
forerunner Of the heavy winter is get
ting in sight. But such is life. We
cannot have all sunshine and no ram,
and that reminds us that in our for
mer days the girls used to tell us thar
into every life some rain must fall,
some days be dark and dreary. How
ever, there issone consoling thought
that behind the clouds the sun is still
shining. SO let us think now as the
cold clouds of winter begin to darken
our beautiful summer skies, that the
same. sun, that cast its rays of light
about us in the near past, is still shin.
ing behind the clouds and will again
shine upon us with all its warmth
and beauty as another year is nun1z
bered withsthe past. Is
We are still at Greenwood Springs
enjoying the hospitality of the good
people of this section, along with the
hog killing time, when sausage and
fat possums and drinking the good
old time persimmon brew, which beats
near-beer and COCA Cola. All Of these
good things bring back memories to
US old inhabitants along with MEM
cries of our childhood days, even in
the days of Auld Lang Syne. How
ever, all the good things didn't exist
back 'yonder in the past when we were
boys and girls for all around and
about us are things just as good as
any that ever existed in the days for
ever gone by. The present is great
and glorious and in the days yet to
come other pleasures will use us to
greet the onward march Of man and
all will be well in the years to come.
Thieves are getting busy in the vii
lage of Greenwood Springs. On Sat
urday night, Nov. 9th, a car thief
taken Mr.. E. o. Branon's Ford and
got off some two miles from town and
turned turtle off an embankment.
Then they left it. The tracks in the
mud showed that there was three in
terested in the stealing the car. They
made good their getaway.
On Monday night, Nov. 20, the store
Of Mr.. L. ]. Northington, one of the
leading MERCHANTS and business men
of the town was burglarized. The
burglar entered the store by smashing
a back window. He evidently was
preparing for the Christmas holidays
as he laid in supply of everything
he and his family will need for the
winter. He took several pair of shoeEs
both for men and women, a silk shirt
and waist, some meat, sugar and
crackers, four boxes Of tobacco; he
also broke open the cash register.
However, there was no money in the
register except a Mexican dollar made
in 1852, and counterfeit dollar which
the thief left for good luck. Mr..
Northington estimates his loss about
$3.50. The burglar came out though
the front door and was tracked to a
nearby house, the tracks showed that
there was only one man that entered
the store, no arrests has as yet been
made. However, the officers are
working on the case. Think in few
days the thief will be located.
Sunday, Buster Walden and Ernest
Mcdowell, two white men, enjoyed in
an old fashioned knock down and drag
out fight, at the Frisco depot. Walden
knocked his man down a thirty-foot
embankment. McDowell's face looked
asif it had been run through meat
