Pell Toiliyer and wife, from over in
Lipsvomb county, visited last. Friday
with the family of Unci# John Sims.
Mrs. Tolliver was formerly Miss Jennie
Wright, the youngest d ughter of
the late Uncle 3 mnel Wright. In
the early days the Sim8 and Wright
families, while livinc several mik*
apart, considerad themselves near
nnigbbors and thc-y became the warm-
cat of friends, a friendship that is only
formed among pc .pl * during days of
hardship and rrivation and one that
endures tf- the end of life. Mrs. Toili-
yer hearing that Uncle John Sims had
been sick, staved thst she "just could
not stand it any lorgtr without coming
to see bim and his family."
