Burglary at Loudermilk Store and County News Bits
Burglars took shoes and canned goods from the W. H. Loudermilk store in Downing last Tuesday night. Signs showed the burglars ate the canned goods along the road. The issue also covers plans for eight sleeper sections for Comanche passengers and mentions local excursions, Bargain Day, a Knowles Well production update, social events, church tithe notices, births, marriages, and community notices including a hunting story about Uncle Ship Carnes.
