Zasper's Will

Zasper Jenkins was spouting off this morning down at the barbershop. Seems he saw this news show on the importance of making out a will, so he did. He was telling us he was leaving his buildings in downtown Harper to his son, Darwell; his houses on the lake to his daughter Mildred and her husband; his country club properties to his son Millard; and all the rest would go to his wife Marletta. Before you get the wrong idea I need to tell you Zasper wasn't bragging or anything like that, he was just dividing up his paper route. I reckon that's okay too.
