of the Calhoun Chronicle dated 2/8/1898.
Last Wednesday while the writer was sitting at his desk writing a line
occasionally and meditating upon the movement of the wheels of the general
government he was suddenly disturbed by what appeared to be some one slipping
upon him. But upon turning around we discovered that it was only
"Bird" Bell in his bare feet and shirt sleeves. He was some 300 yards
from his home and said he was out for his health, and as the thermometer
registered about 2 degrees below zero we could see where he was right. |
