Today’s Top 5

Looking at a barefoot kid like that

I wonder how many rusty nails and glass shards had been hiding in those mud roads.

Austin Newspaper

Like the Moonlight Towers, the Statesman is still Austin's daily newspaper, now known as the Austin American-Statesman.

Poor kid.

Being a barefoot newsie, even in South Texas, had to be tough. Hope he ended up having a good life.

Well it's still better

than working in a Coal Mine, but then, what isn't.
