    Honesty has been a way of life for the Jim Coleman family, 110 N. Columbia St., and 11-year-old daughter Darla has obviously learned well. Seems that Darla recently visited her neighbors (the Albert Tuckers) where a garage sale was in progress. The youngster spied an old billfold/purse which she purchased from Mrs. Tucker for nickel. While admiring her bargain later, Darla found the purse contained $58. Without hesitation and on her own, Darla returned the money to a joyous and tearful Mrs. Tucker, who promptly rewarded the youngster for her honesty.
