Anon News
Anon has been wrapped up this past week with about nine inches of snow. Mail has been slowed up because they couldn’t plow through the snow, but everyone has had fun making snowmen and throwing snowballs.

Hugh P. Brindley, formerly of Columbia, Tennessee and who is well-known to many about Cullman, has just opened a new grocery and meat market in the same location on the Stiefelmeyer block, as was formerly occupied by the Bright’s Meat Market.
The building has been remodeled, repainted and installed with new fixtures, counters and equipment. Mr. Brindley will have charge of the meat market, Jack Speegle will work in the grocery department and Joe Speakman will serve as the delivery boy (and a prompt one, he says).
Mr. Brindley, who has worked for the A and P Tea Company for the past eleven years, has already moved his family to Cullman and lives next door to Mr. Lee Lassetter on First Street East.
