The Gerry Clough place at the cross

made very pretty place.
Horace Prescott is building an addi-

same. Horace is worker and thrifty
farmer.
Nasty Smith runs the post Office and
talks politics as in the good old days of
yore. Administrations may come and
administrations may go but Gus still
clings to the post Office.
There are only a few of the old crowd
of lively boys and girls left at the
