Ran into an interesting old
newspaper the other day at
Trigg Instance. If was a
1905 copy c* Tnc Geraldine
News.
Now if you're like us, you
didn't know Geraldine ever
had a newspaper, but it did.
The paper was printed once
a month, we gathered, vnee
the copy we saw was dated
July, 1905. Abel Markwell
was publisher and was also
in the land business. His
chief editorial policy »eemed
to be to sell land and to get
enough land company stock
pledges behind him to wage
a court fight against some-
one who he indicated hadn't
been too fair with buyers of
property in the Geraldine
area.
We tried to get off with
the paper, which was in ex-
cellent condition, but E. H.
and Eddie both set their feet
down. The paper is a valuabe
piece of history of the coun-
ty-

We’ve been informed that any-
one who would like to have a
well traveled companion may get
one at a real bargain from the
Band Boosters Club. The angora
goat—Maestro that is—used to
get new members for the club
has done its job and now the
organization would like to part
with it. The Jimmy Horanys end-
ed up with the goat, but they are
eager to find a buyer.

NEARLY FULL—Archer City Lake is almost
full after almost six inches of rain in the last
few days. Zeke Rcbinson, city manager, said
there is a possibility that the lake will go
over the spillway yet. Much of the water in
the lake was pumped from the South Fork,
where a permanent type dam has been con-
structed. (News Staff Photo)
Tournament Play
Begins for Locals
A tip of the hat to the
American Legion Auxiliary.
We think their efforts to
plant trees in the park is cer-
tainly to be commended. We
are one of those persons who
believe it Is impossible to
plant too many trees, and of-
• en when we look at a beau-
tiful old tree we wonder who
had the foresight to plant it
many years ago.

Mrs. Jewell Childs was com-
p’aining a bit the o‘her day at
the drug store. After several
rainy days the sun came out
Monday and Mrs. Childs couldn’t
find anyone to hunt quail with.
The situation left her somewhat
disturbed.
“I’ve just got to get my dog
out and teach him something,"
she explained.
Then she said she was anxious
to find out how smart the dog
really is.
“The other day I fed him out
of a paper plate and he ate food,
fclate and all!”
