A Card Of Thanks

L desire through the columns of the
News, on behalf of myself and kindred,
to express our sincere thanks to all of
the neigsbors of my mother and faith
er, for their very kind and tender
ministries during the sickness and
death of our mother, Mrs Louisa Har-
mon. For the past twenty one years
I've lived in several of the Southern
States where hospitality and kindness
is considered to be of the highest type.
But want to say that no where are
truer friends, or better class of peo-
pie to be found than right in old Adair
county where 1 was reared and lived
for the first twenty-seven of years of
my life. Especial mention want to
make of the large family of Murrell
boyS-sons of the late Albert Murrell,
who live adjoining my parents home.
Sincerely,
NJ. L. Harmon.
