’Good Ole Days’
In Centennial
Were they the ''Good Ole
Days?”
Maybe they were. Maybe
not.
Anyway, readers of the
Herald will have a chance to
draw their own cone «ion
when the newspaper's Centen-
nial edition ap p p e a r s next
month. From its files The
Herald has selected stories that
will bring back the old days
just the way they were.
Stories, for instance, about
such things as:
Tie preacher -- and former
Herald owner - who preached
a sermon in a saloon with the
bar as a pulpit and his Bible
lying on it flanked by his
six - guns.
What happened when t h e
first attempt was made to fur
nish the Milam County court-
house with a water supply.
The prominent Cameron law-
yer who helped win an elec-
tion by leading a group of
citizens wnich stopped a train
