They are telling a right good one about one of our local fellows. One day, a week ago when the weather was rather chilly, a tourist asked the First National Bank corner panhandler for the price of a meal. Along in the evening, he changed his position to the First State Bank corner, and a local citizen who wanted to meet one of the workers from the refinery took up a position east of the First National Bank to wait for the refinery worker. It was getting dark and some folks, who had noticed the tourist during the afternoon, concluded it was about time to have him move on, but had not noticed the fellow shifting to the opposite corner. He spoke to an officer about it. The officer went over and recognized one of his acquaintances and then there was a hearty laugh.
