A wartime tale from Greene Springs recounts a lone German prisoner who wandered from Carthage toward Hale County. The home guards, family led by a compassionate father, and visiting Greene Springs students integrated the captive, fed him, and escorted him onward to safety as the Civil War neared its end. The piece blends family endurance with regional devotion to Dixie.
A lighthearted exchange discusses an early 7 am train to Washing ton. A large Broadway policeman with a blond mustache and a famous habit for posing fascinates Rialto regulars and artists who pay a dollar per sitting, admiring his massive physique and nunlike self-satisfaction.
