From where I sit, jumping to
conclusions like Curley did,
doesn’t always make for an amus-
ing story. I’m reminded of the
people who—without due consid-
eration—have concluded that I’m
wrong to like an occasional glass
of beer. Well, to my way of think-
ing, that’s not only intolerant...
but, what’s more, “minding” the
other fellow’s business is not the
American way.

Been meaning all week to tell
you about Curley Lawson’s “baby-
sitting” experience.
His Mrs. left him in charge,
about seven p.m., with instruc-
tions not to let the children come
downstairs. So Curley read his
paper and whenever he heard
footsteps on the staircase he or-
dered the culprit back to bed.

Little while later, Mrs. Miller

Mrs. S. Villeneuve, of Austin,

A. G. Melcher was displaying
three lovely, large apples of the
Helm variety yesterday, which
were perfect pictures. He has
only one tree but it is quite full
of fruit. He secured his tree di-

from whom it gets its name.
These apples taste somewhat like
a Winesap and are very delicious.

25 Years Ago
Between one and two thousand
people lined the streets of Elgin
Saturday night to witness, and
participate, in the FREE shower
given by the city to the children,
and the old time music and street
dance.
Elgin enjoys the distinction of
being the only city our size, or
perhaps the only city of any size
in Texas furnishing a municipal
shower for the children once each
week, and it is a big drawing card
as well as lots of fun for the kids.
Elgin is also pulling off a big
Trade Day on the last Saturday
of each month. On this day the
n etchants advertise special prices
and $100.00 or more in merchan-
dise is given away. Other enter-
tainment is furnished during the
day and at night.
