CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank the many
friends for their expression of sym
pathy at the time of the death of
our loved one, George W. Shields, al
so for the beautiful flowers at the
funeral and to the minister and those
who sang at the last services. Mr."
and Mrs. J. D. Earhart.
if Santa Forgot!
After-Christmas shopping is be
ing done, because Santa does
strange things.
Perhaps a tie. or a box of socks
will do the trick and if he left
them at the wrong house, how
about treating yourself to some
new togs to start out the New
Year?
