Charlie Hanson of Coal Springs,

ears look good enough for Lincoln

boomer before going to Perkins county
and of course vas a progressive young
farmer, and this had something to do
with Charles fine corn, but Lincoln

go away from home, always make
good, because they were born in a
progressive county.
