THE PALESTINE DAILY HERALD — JUNE 03, 1904
A Fish Story
Some one at the court house is responsible for this fish story. Of course the writer knows who told the story, but as the party has heretofore borne a splendid reputation for truth and veracity, the Herald does not wish to cause a cloud of doubt to mar that reputation.
The story goes that on a fishing expedition a number of eels were caught, and they were skinned, salted and put in a bag. When home was reached those eels were still alive, and when put into a pan crawled out. Now, everybody stand on your heads.
