“If from cherished child
hood scenes
Fate and fortune have
brought you here,
And your heart still home
ward leans;
Remember — New friends
with time grow dear.
Your joys, your sorrows are
of ours a part,
So, help us to know you
that we may share
This experience of Life,
with open heart;
Welcome Neighbor! We’re
glad you are here.”
Once again Newton County is
spotlighted in the category of a
“chosen community’’, as Mr. and

fides that despite many promising
homesites, which they visited
in many states, Newton County
was their choice!
Mrs. Stewart Is a native of
Jasper, Ala.; and names travel

hobbies. Mr. Stewart, who is a

interest in gardening and fish
