Blancett of Lyn¬ wood, California, published in the December 30 issue of The Times, I want to add my two cents worth. Incidentally I am receiving the paper every week, thanks to my good sister, Mrs. Jack DavK of Chattanooga, and believe me I still remember some familrr names T knew there in the years 1910 through 1914. I wonder how Trenton looked sixty-one years ago, when Rev. Blansett lived there? I can’t go J back thirty-five that far, but ago] can recall years when Trenton wss prosperous in those | | ! days, . y , as as it *' ,\ is . s today. today , ; Yes, Yes > I 1 can can remember _ the good years went j alcng , withi \ ,. the ,, bad- People were happy.

Yes, people were happy and got along with each other There was no such thing as a Communist in that fair city. I remember the beautiful water- overlooking Sitton’s Gulch ’ which has worn down a few inches of reck by this time. It was beautiful all right and the CaVG Up the hollow a miIe or so from Mr. Pryor’s was worth any¬ one’s time to see inside. There were nice square dances with good music.

A thou- san thanks. When I began to read cf names that I was well accquaint- ed with, it called to my mind so many of their ancesters that was my very best friends so it made me happy to call the names their posterity.
