Epping Socials and Local Notes Highlight Community
Wheelock A C Long and wife and Bob Bingsman and wife spent Sundays with Earl Evans and wife. Stanley Williard had his driving horse cut in the barb wire fence. The show in Epping was well attended last week. Clarence Kirkendahl and Theodore Gabert were Epping shoppers one day last week. Mr Mellon of Epping celebrated his wedding anniversary last Sunday night. Everybody enjoyed themselves. The thought of doubling his advertising expense brings a chill to the average merchant when it comes to him for the first time. After he has done it, the thought that he might have stayed in the old rut gives him a chill.
