SOONVILLE

Seventeen days in Soonville for it never to be the same again. Two bars, one brothel ,
a diner , little shop or two and a church. Then there '' s Tumpkin''s Penitentiary.
Well, Ford just walks out, gets a ride ,takes on a bet and there you go
. Soonville .
Last time someone was shot in Soonville was when people said it would be a town soon . Making a bet on another man''s life is one thing , getting away with it another . Such a quiet town . Nothing happens unless you pay for it . No
w bombs going off at Tumpkin''s and nobody knows why . There''s been a major change at the brothel : Cottonmouth quit her job . It''s even said she '' s still a virgin , technically speaking . Sheer marketing strategy .

However , never pr
onounce that name in presence of her brother . Everybody knows how to behave in the Bullhorn , town ''s Number One bar . Few people die innocent . Ford walks out of prison with everything coming to him . Money , Cottonmouth all his . Got a job too .
Don ''t ask .. ''Make a list'' , Hewey the barber says . ''Of anyone who ''s been to jail here . See what they do'' . Nobody listens to him . They should have . Things change rapidly in Soonville . Giltomb Cemetery is filling up
