A NUMBER one dairy ranch, consisting of
3e2 acres, on the Missouri valley, known as
the - old Mason ranch,'' was sold at Sheriff's
sale last week, for 1916 to our County Clerk,
Mr. r. E. Collins We take pleasure in well
coming Mr.. Collins to the ranks Of the
graneers. There is more enjoyment in a
few years of honest toll than i'm a lifetime of
labor in the ranks Of the legal profession.
