We want to thank Mr. and Mrs. W.A. Hall and Mr. and Mrs. R.M. Wells for many kindnesses extended to us. And I want to thank J.L. Crater and W.E. Rutledge, especially, for business favors. Yadkinville is a good place to live and if you want to do right, the people will go out of their way to help you.”
