The Hazard Herald - 5 August 1915 Copied from microfilm by Allen Watts Transcribed by Freddie Wilson, 4 Aug 2004 RAMBLER'S NOTES Written by the Rambler "Daddy goes a Visiting" "A recent trip to Dwarf, Ky., was sure an eyeopener to me," is what the Rambler said as he stepped in to see the boys of the Hazard Herald. When asked to explain himself he began by saying "The town of Dwarf is, as you know, only eight miles from the court house, which ought to be reached inside of not over two hours, but it takes three hours and a halfs time to cover. I started on the fast mail line at seven in the morning, and after passing the mud holes and ruts in the city limits, going along the river side down to Second creek, I found the bridge gone with nothing, not even a chalk line, across the road to indicate any danger ahead. This bridge, I understand, went down when the elephant tried to cross on its way from Hazard. The presumption is that when the elephant comes back this way he will have to put it back, unless the overseer calls attention of the 'Fisical Court' to the fact that it's gone-the bridge I mean. "One goes up Lots creek, climbing one hill, then down another and yet again other hills; coming at last to the divide we come to the head of Combs branch, and on down to Troublesome Creek. Right there on both sides of the creek and branch is a town containing about twenty houses, 150 to 200 people, one main country store, a small grocery store, a post office and last, but not least by any means, the Church and Public school building, and the Tunnel Grist Mill."
