    3. My thanks to all of you for your URL's I grew up reading that paper. We lived on the old Wagnon place, up that sand hill across from what is now a cemetery [used to be Grasty's]. My job every morning was to go down the hill and "fetch the paper". Our paper carrier bought berries from us every spring. Barter system in action. We picked enough berries to trade for the paper for the year. We had our daily paper and his family had blackberry cobbler and blackberry jelly and preserves. My daddy and I walked the six miles into town to see the circus courtesy free coupons in the paper. Then we walked home again. A lot easier than the walk up Bowden Mountain going in. During the depression we all walked. It was 2 and 8 tenths mile from our mail box to Lone Pine School so that was another daily walk during school term. You had to live 3 miles from school before you could ride the bus. The distance from the house to the road did not count. I enjoyed the visit to the paper's site. Again thank you to all of you for your kindness and bringing back some old memories.
