rem and grandchildren. Il being her
seventy-iifth anniversary. Mr. and
Mrs. Sanders came to Vernon county
and Clinton in 1866, locating on the
farm where they have resided since
Mr.. Sanders viii soon be 81 years Of
age, yet these aged people seem to be
ENJOYING good health. They still man
age their farm Of about 100 gcres. He
told the writer an interesting story of
how he obtained some of his land. He
first traded for sheep, this in turn
exchanging for a heifer, then swapping
this animal for a mule, then he said:
II traded the mule even up for 10 acres
of land. " He says he does not know
of another deal like that, as he has one
mule left as well as some fine horses
Although the evening was quite cold,
yet good tins was had, oysters were
served at IL o'clock Mr.. and Mrs.
Sanders are among the well respected
old people of this community.
