The auction advertised for last
Saturday when part Of the house
hold effects OF the late c. M. Jack
son were sold on the premises
brought out the usual large crowd.
Many went out Of curiosity, others
were prospective buyers while there
were those who expected to get
something for nothing and yet they
were not disappointed, when
their expectations were not realized.
There were those who really en-
ioyed it as they are wont to do,
and to others it brought reflections
of the past for it meant no less than
the breaking up of once bright and
cheerful home that has been the
scene of so many happy gatherings
of neighbors and the countless num-
Der of their friends, who have
shared their hospitality during
their long residence among us. Miss
Matte jackson who continued to re-
side here and cared for her invalid
father until his demise and up to this
time, expects to make her home in
Seattle for time at least, and with
her departure the community loses
the last remaining member of the FAM
lily who for so many years were among
the most prominent in our village and
included the families of w. FL. Hunt,
M. L. Spaulding and Adolph Kinney,
the former who will long be remem-
bered among the most enterprising
business men that Grant county has
yet known. M. L. Spaulding and wife
too will take up their residence in
Boscobel much to the regret of many
friends in this community. With the
removal of the families mentioned
from our midst our village has suffer
ed loss that it's citizens keenly feel.
They are leaving footprints not in the
sands of time alone but in the mem
DRY of lifelong friends, and when we
say that we wish them unbounded sue
cess wherever they may cast their an
Choir we are but voicing the sentiments
of the entire community.
