Main topic of conversation in Pine Ridge seems to be the stranger who has just arrived in town. He calls himself Diogeny Smith. And after the legend of his namesake, the old Greek philosopher Diogeny, he carries a lantern and claims that he is searching for an honest man.
As we look in on the little community today, we find Abner in the Jotam Down Store in library with Grand Pappy Spears. I think I'll take up this work. What work, Grandp? Are you starting on that mandolin playing again?
