informed us that Lessies husband |
had since died. Bobbie Horner is
brother of Mrs. ]. R. Pope, of Luray.
Those who would like to see the
Progress a good local paper can help
us make it so by giving us local news
items that come under their observa-
ton. Times have so changed that a
country newspaper can not afford to
keep a loafer for news gatherer and
hence the publisher must have help
from others. Do not be diffident
about it, tell US in person or over the
telephone if you have an item in
mind.
H. C. Oakley informs us that If he
can secure site for il he will locate
here a heading mill and saw mill.
principally for the making Of chair

the use of much Of whiteoak, redoak
and gum. There is unused territory
