Card of Thanks.

We will always remember with a
deep sense of gratitude the many acts
of kindness and sympathy shown us
in the hour of our great sorrow by many
friends and neighbors, and by the
Commercial Club and others whose
identity we do not know. We know
this is an inadequate expression of
what we feel toward you, but words
fail us. l.. A. Cordz and Family.

The town spirit-or community

The town spirit-or community
spirits what counts in civic de
velopment. The citizen who will
not vote for town improvements
on the opposite side of town from
where he lives is not made OF the
stuff that counts for most in town
development. Any citizen will
vote for walks and lights about
his home-any farmer will help
pay for good road by his farm
but when it comes to putting lights
and walks and good roads about
another fellows place well, it
takes a big hearted, public spirited
man to do that. And Jasper has
bunch of citizens of this lattey
kind.
