Vacation plans and assurances for rural Pontotoc County
Mrs Worrell and I will leave in a day or two on a short vacation trip to Colorado. If the force makes any unforgivable break in handling the weekly while I am sane, lease clean up on them before I get back. I don't want to be called on to answer for any shortcomings, even my own, if I can dodge it. I guess things will run about as well. Maybe better than when I am on the job, so I am expecting to find things in good shape when I reach home in a couple of weeks.
