Here they retired from the arduous work of the farm but many in the neighborhood and in distant lands will long remember the happy days and merry incidents that took place at the old McGavin home, Many old friends of this highly es- teemed old couple area unit in offer— ing ffering hearty congratulations for con- tinuance of good health and happy surroundings and hope these may con- tinue for years to come.
