The und ertaking includes an addition, interior alteration, painting and routine maintenance work. To finance this project, it wa.s not necessary for Uncle Sam to go to a bank to borrow (al though his credit probably would have been very good, indeed), but there are countless home owners in the country who are expected to begin improving their properties in the same way —with cash. If the Federal Housing Admin istration insures loans up to the maximum of its capacity to do so, $1,000,000,000 in moderni zation and repairs will take place under its program. But this fig ure falls to take into consider ation the volume of work that will go forward with funds avail able to property owners without the necessity of borrowing. -AND THEN SHE SMOKED A CAMEL!

Sorghum making is in pro gress and ’possum hunting will soon be the order of the night. We have intended giving a character sketch for some time of the life of Mr. Smith Walker who was born, raised, lived and died in this section of the coun ty. Mr. Walker, “Uncle Smith" as he was known died about twenty years ago and a more congenial friendly person never lived. We will never forget him riding his sorrel mule to Kendal post office, (new Ferguson), twice a week for his mail. He was always vitally interested in matters of public interest and b,3 read his newspapers closely as well as his Bible. We will always like to think of the genial coun tenance of this man because he was a good citizen.
