CEGO.

       How is this for winter down in the sunny South.  While the weather is cold and disagreeble we think a great many people enjoyed it, in the hope that it would rain, but little rain has fallen as yet.

       We are sorry to know that Miss Emma Gibbson has been very sick, but glad to note that she is much better.

       There were two funerals at Cego cemetery this evening, both from other communities.

       D. S. Self has purchased J. P. Self's house, and in Cego guess Dave will be after now.

       Cego has a new firm styled, Mullin & Lee Drug Company.

       Dr. Martin says it is mighty healthy around Cego.  We don't wish the doctor any bad luck, but hope health will continue good.

       J. T. Strawn was in Cego today.

       G. H. Wyatt was out repairing his telephone today.
