THE
CHATTER
Local-County-State
Ey the Office Boy
This beautiful weather, with
a little nip in the air puts new
life into us, and makes us rea
lize that winter is not far away.
This beautiful sunshine makes
the out-of-doors inviting. No
body wants to sit at a desk, do
housework or anything else. If
we are not about our gardening
and planning outside ... my, oh
me! The fishing poles do tan
talize us!
Hosts of friends in this sec
tion join us in extending heart
felt sympathy to Mrs. Aubra
Sherwood who lost her dear
brother this week in Miami.
Only those who have given up
loved ones know just how to
sympathize with that family,
and others who lose their loved
ones. There are others through
out this section who have lost
a loved one, and we pray the
Heavenly Father will reconcile
our will to His will, for this is
His plan of life. It is not the
end, but just the beginning of
life eternal. Sure there will be
a vacancy here, and loneliness
for the one we loved, but the
greatest thing is, that they have
gone to the life eternal, where
there is no more pain or suf
fering.
The fair is over, and I am
quite sure, from the pictures in
the paper this week you will
rejoice with the winners, for
