STILL LOVES THE OLD HOME TOWN

In , renewing her subscription to the Republican, Mrs. Ida Sperry, formerly Miss Ida Chilcote, writes as follows: “I enjoy reading the paper. We have had quite a good deal of rain during the past two weeks, which have improved the crop conditions. Wheat and oats were good and the co?n having suffered from the July drought will not be as good as usual. Every ope is so busy with war work, there is little thought of other interests. Our Red Cross has a quilt donated by the members and it was sold and re-sold, bring over one hundred dollars, and is still owned by the local chapter. Kindly remember me to Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Parkison and both families, also other friends of my old home town, I love so much. Your friend and former classmate, . IDA SPERRY. Allentown, Tazewell Co., Ill.”
