Good Advice
Mr. Ralph Harris over in Gaffney advises this: When you find yourself in a deep hole, stop digging!!
Great Service
I finally found a convenience and gas store you can walk right up to the counter and pay for your gas and other items without someone all humped over the counter talking to the clerk and trying to make up their mind which Lotto ticket they want. Gene Horne’s One Stop just south of Jonesville has someone to take your money, make your change and get on to work. I will be buying my gas at Gene Horne’s.

A Bull Story
This story comes from Bob West over in the West Springs community. Bob had just purchased a Jersey bull. They are known to be mean.
Sheriff David Taylor likes cows and bulls and went to Bob’s house to take a look at the new bull. Bob advised Sheriff Taylor that he could not go into the pasture because Jersey bulls are mean. The sheriff advised Mr. West that his badge would allow him to go anywhere and he entered the pasture anyway.
The bull got after the sheriff and was chasing him back towards the barn. The sheriff was screaming “Help, help, this bull is chasing me!”
Bob West hollered to the sheriff, “Show him your badge!!”
