Mr.. Whetsel is good teacher and good
man.. The guessing on the beans at
Longbon's Store has afforded fund of
amusement. The jar is perhaps half
gallon jar, and is nearly filled with beans.
The first guess made by w. A. Longbon
himself was 450. Some were thought
wild for guessing as high as 1900, yet one
man guessed 1000. which began to raise
the guessing greatly. One lady went
in and guessed over 1000, then filed a
pint cup with beans and counted them.
There were just taco thousand in a pint.
