Hard, cal loused. growing, and spreading feet had always outgrown the shoes of the winter before, and new ones had to be gotten. Back then, new shoes were al ways a torture until you broke them.

When this correspondent asked Mr. Bedenbaugh about his re tirement as postmaster at Prosper ity at the end of September, he gave out the following statement: “I want to take this opportunity to express to the patrons of the of fice. all of whom I regard as my friends, my deep appreciation for their good will, their patience, and their fine cooperation through the years I have served them. “From that first personally me morable New Year Day of 1919 to this, there were some difficult days, some distressing days, some laborious days, but mostly they were delightful days and never were there any DULL days. It has been a' great life for me, partly because I loved the work so much, but mostly because the patrons of the office contributed so much to that end. For all of which I have been and always shall be pro foundly grateful.” Dr. and Mrs. George W. Harmon left Sunday for Norfolk, Va. to visit their son-in-law and daugh ter, Col. and Mrs. Frank W.

I liked that, for it sounded like a man. Those shoes didn’t fit tight at the top, and a buckle is all that held them on. One bitterly cold morning I was about frozen when I finished the two miles back through the woods to school. They had a roaring lightwood fire going in the wide fireplace. I stood rather close, to thaw out. The fire was popping and burning good. A live coal fell right down in one of my shoes. It took it a few sec onds to burn through my thick, homemade stockings. But soon it hit th$ quick. And you talk about fast and furious action, it was there for a few seconds. I made some sort of record in unlatching that shoe and getting it off. Hook and Rev. Hook.
