APPRECIATION
The members of the Earl
Horton Post 122 of the
American Legion are still
enthusiastically discussing
the acquisition o f two
buildings which were pur
chased from B. B. Penland,
B. R. Penland and Luther
, Ayers.
The Ex-Service men are
very high in their praise of
i the Mr. Penlands and Mr..
Ayers since the gentlemen
I donated a thousand dollars
to the Legion in connection
with this transfer of prop
erty. The property ha d
been held for sale at a mini
mum price of a thousand
dollars more than the Leg
ion had to pay and un
doubtedly Messers Penland
and Ayers could have real
ized considerably more for
the property.
It is very likely that the
. Local Post of the Legion
j will, at its next meeting,
.pass a Resolution express
ing the Legion’s apprecia
tion to the Mr. Penlands
land Mr. Ayers for their
; wonderful spirit and eo'op
; eration. All three of them
j had sons or brothers in the
Service and they have
shown their patriotism
| from the very beginning. j
