(chitterlings) from John McGill
were so good that we just have to
tell him how much we enjoyed
them-the whole family and then
some. They were the only ones
we've had this season and for that
reason especially were gratefully
received. Next to opossum. Ken

In sending death notices we would
appreciate it very much If our
friends would report them within
short time after the death occurs.
We publish such events free as news,
when they are news, but ofttimes we
get the communication months after
the death occurs, usually with poetry
accompanying it. That is not news,
and under our rule, is charged for
at one cent word AS all newspapers
do. Please send in promptly what
you want published as neacS free.
