A Column of Nonsense,
The other day while we were going
Over to Wyloy Walker' Music Store
to buy a new piano for our wife a man
stoppod us and asked us why the
clocks In the tower on the Court
House had all stopped at twelve
seventeen. We didn't know so we thot
we would go over and ask Ed Davis.
Ed mot us at the door with usual 1
politeness and we went In. We asked
alwti't how Ed felt and he said pretty
good so we thought It was about time
to ask him about the clocks so we did. .
Ed asked If wo meant the clocks on
the new court house and we said w
hadn't noticed any new court house
yet and ho said of course not but he
meant the clocks on tho picture of tho
now court house and wo said that we
had heard that they had a plcturo of
tho now court houso but wo hadn't
soon lt yet but wo meant tho cloehs
In tho towor of tho old court houso.
Ed nBkod how many clocks we had
soon thoro and wo told him thero were
four! ono for each direction and he
asked If they wore going or stoppod
and wo said they wore stopped for
whon we wont to dinner tho other day
wo thought wo woro only seventeen
minutes lalo but wo found out differ
ently whon wo got homo. Ed said ho
didn't soo how thoy could stop all of
them at tho same mlnuto and wo said
wo didn't either. Then wo said It
looked ns though thoy had beon stop
pod a long tlmo and Just then ono of
Ed's friends from' tho East ond camo
along and Ed asked him and ho said
thoro was a story connected with the
stopping of thoso" clocks" nnd thon he
said that It happened whan an ontlro
now sot of County officers woro In
stalled at high noon on tho first Mon.
day in January in tho early 90's. Tho
clocks stood it for sovdnteon minutes
and then stopped. Ed said that was a
good story and wo said it was a fish
story and Ed objected to our making
insinuations nbout his East ond friend
nnd told us ho would crack our noggin
If wo didn't get out of thoro so wo got.
And now wo know.
