SynopsisExcerpt from Painted Rock: Tales and Narratives of Painted, Rock, South Panhandle, Texas, Told, by Charlie Baker, Late of That City, and Also of Snyder, Scurry County I Had come into Painted Rock from Ennis Creek in a Studebaker wagon, pulled by Jones two mules, Punch and Judy, and, while the men at the store were making up my orders for the extra grub that would see us through shearing, I took a paseo all round the town.

I never forget a face or an injury or a good turn done me, and somehow I hev a solid based opinion that I've done more than passed the time of day with that melancholy individual that poked his head in here just now, and took a look around these deserted halls.
