he received while driving in a sleigh
between Corsica and Harrison, over

aside and take up a position with

Grocery Co. as manager of the groc-

his road work his good fortune de-
serted him for the moment.

was held the first of the week, and
there was a big crowd in attendance.
Most of the property sold was horses
and cattle. Mrs. Williamson had 1876
mead of cattle, and AZ head of horses
and colts. The total amount of the
sale was ~$11,561.9O. The 1876 head
of cattle, which was comprised OF
mostly young stuff, brought S4,641.-
20 and the horses sold for the lump
sum of $5,6S7.5O. The rest of the
property was farm machinery and
other stuff. j. H. Grafton was the chief
a%uctjoneer at the sale and he was as
sisted by Messrs. Judge and Hop
kins. Mrs. Williamson will conduct
her farm the coming year, but took
this method to dispose of the large
quantity of stock.

the remains of Geo. NJ. Julian Sat-
urday afternoon at 2 o'clock at
