I agree with him. I believe that's our ring. I know his law, my believe you're right. No, see. Hello, Johnum Downstor. This is love and after. Let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge.

Well, these in quiet has once more settled over Pine Ridge. The Ajini Smiths confession cleared both the lumb and Cedric of all charges in the counterfeiting case, and the Johnum Downstor is clear of its mortgage.

The only problem the old fellas have to face now is how to spend the $10,000 Dodge in his left and their care and in such a way as to benefit the whole town. As we look in on the little community today, we find Lumen Abner in the Joplin Down store and library discussing this matter.

I'll tell you long. How about taking that $10,000 and spending to get the paved road put clean through town? That'd do a heap of good for pine red. Yeah, but I don't believe that was a sort of thing Dodge niece had mine when he left that money for the community the lab No, I think he'd rather we'd use it in some way to make everybody a better citizen
