Twelve or fourteen nice homes have
been built, and others will PROBABLY go

ly in need of side walks, and as con-
GREETING is cheap and durable, the prop
erty holders should get busy. There
could be no greater Improvement for
this old historic town. The walks
would enhance the value of property
much more than the cost of building
them; then the place would become
more inviting, the population would
increase, business would grow and the
female population would rise up and

Dear Heck:
have just read your letter in the
Adair County News and your refer
ence TO Boots Owens and your own
name carried me back into the wonder
land of dreams and memories.
The faces of the boys and girls, Ike
fairies, fit before my mental vision in
panorama that seems living reality.
and L lrear the echo OF voices in
laughter and song across the gulf that
lies hetweeu the now and then.
Well, Heck, l thought that you,
like so many others, had answered
the lI-call, but L see that you are
much alive and "kickin" and that
in meeting the stern and grave duties
OF life you still have a heart and a
sentiment and love for old Adair,
and that boyhood memories are sweet
to you.
What is life without its soul and
sentiment; without its childhood and
its memories: growing brighter and
more beautiful as We see and hear them
through the deepening mists of the
departing years?
Heck, just wanted to say, howdy,
with best wishes, God bless you.
Your boyh0od friend, -
Wat Hardin.
