\ eight years remained on his mantle

that they gave (Eith a few exceptions)
to the grand lesson his life has left US
Charity and Children.
Marion Democrat: In an old account
book shown us by Captain Carson
there ia an entry of 26 steers bought
in 1918 of William McIntire at $50 a
head, $3.50 for the lot. There is another
purchase OF rs head from I. T. Avery
at S22 each, 81 $50 for the lot. Thess
cattle had to be driven to Charleston
for market. Thess prices, we think,
will compare favorably with the pres
ent value Of bull calves.
