As a result of this former adverse marketing condition, following the picking of the green tomatoes, many of the nice red ones were left in the fields.
Five dollars in pennies from one place, a few coins from another, some money from another, a smashed cash register, a broken door, a picked lock, a slashed screen! All that was damage done by thieves during the past week when they broke into at least a half a dozen business houses. Among the places entered “illegally” were White Star Market, Mayo’s Cafe, Palace Barber Shop, Lyric Cafe and Red Wing Cafe. A screen was slashed at The Tribune but the door was not opened.

Bogue, who are the only living charter members of that congregation, with beautiful baskets of flowers dedicated to them.
