Here is still another picture of old town Searcy Arkansas. This picture shows a group of happy kids who have won prizes for some contest. Perhaps selling seeds? I'm sure that my friend Paula Windsor Thompson, who is the tall girl in the picture, will tell me more in a comment. She appears to

This delightful photo shows a real filling station! The station is right beside the street and looks as if it has only one gas tank. The gentleman filling up the tank has probably been told to "fill 'er up" and at the slightly over 25 cents-per-gallon charge, it will not cost much. Tha
