HERBERT COOK IN TOWN
Herbert Cook was here Tuesday attending the Presbytery.
time he lived in Albany, but for the past fifteen years or more
bet n living under the shadow of oil derricks over there in Stej
county. Many years ago, Herbert was a stock keeper in a dry |
wholesale store in St. Louis. Jack Raines, an Albany merchant
up there, fell to the kid and kidnapped him and brought him down |
Texas. Pretty soon the kid fell to the wiles of the West, fitted
and he', been her ever -inc. Funny about the migratory spirit
the animal man, never satisfied, has traveled the length and br
of the world, hence, the .-pre,ad of civilization. Selah.
