There's Earl Ference with a paper. l'll just look on with him and save a half a dollar, the cost of a paper. Good morning Mayor, how's the family, mind if I look at the paper with you? The headlines read G. ELMO GAFFNEY NAMED NATION'S MOST PERFECTLY DEVELOPED MAN. GRASS-SNAKES WIN! Coach Ray Sewell leads Conference with 'I straight wins. Sewell, All- American for three years and winning the title as The Toothless Power House. There's another Topic, Stetson's Cap Gun,,I meant Pistol Pete fVirgi1 Parrish.J He was a running mate of the Mighty Sewell. He scored 415 points in nine games, but just think that was with a broken back and several head operations. I also remember Butch Weir was elected captain of the All-Southern team.

I wonder how she supports that husband of hers. Here comes Edwina fused to be Judyy with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and into the Post Office she goes hoping to get a letter from her man. Cornelia Patterson really looks important as state census-taker. By the way, she said Groveland has just reached the 10,000 count.
