The Cowley Progress

Last Saturday a very pleasant appearing young man drifted into Cowley and at once proceeded to get into communication with our pioneer lawyer, Woodruff Gwynn, desirous of forming a law partnership, which was exactly what Mr. Gwynn was looking for, and so the partnership was arranged, under the firm name of Gwynn & Gwynn – an up and coming healthy law firm. For the present he has taken up his residence at the Gwynn home. We have failed to learn the young stranger’s name. Mother and son are reported as getting along fine and – well, daddy is as pleased as a boy with his first pair of longies. Congratulations.
