does not care to take the county paper
he says, because some of his customers
generally come in and leave one. This

town and accommodate his custom
ers. That is the reason Sharon has en-
joyed such a wonderful boom for sever
all years.

months, with terrible case of blood

nature of the disease. TIE family is
deserving. and we extend them our
sympathy.
