Remember to set your clocks ahead one hour this weekend, as Daylight Saving Time begins March 14.

I’m sure most of you have noticed the newly installed gasoline pumps at

E-Mart in Ashford.

It is nice to have the

convenience of purchasing gasoline

locally.

Sympathy to the family of Dempsey Barker of Ashford who passed away March 2 at the age of 82.
