viii Hold : Sale or. Bust.

3. B. Dobson & Son are having a
hard time trying to hold a closing
out sale at their farm II miles
southeast of Delray. They advertis-
ed sale for Feb. 18th, but had to
postpone it on account Of the storm
that day. They selected another
date, Monday of this week, the 23rd,
but it was skiddoo with a sale in the
face of the blizzard which was raging
and which had drifted the roads so
that they we're impossible. They
have settled on third date for the
sale, Friday, Feb. 9th, tomorrow
and have some mighty good stock to
sell as well as full line of farm
implements.

Uncle John Phipps Of Farragut,
passed his l02nd birthday on st. Val
ontine's day. When I'ncle. John pass
ed his centennial, and on that day
was made member of the Elks,
the event was heralded far and wide,
but since he continues to live on
year after year in the same peaceful
though active way, the mans re-
markable longevity seems to lose q
part of its novelty and begins to be
accepted by his acQuaintences as q

of health, walks about with the ease
and grace of 9 man Of so, and gives
every promise of living for many
years to Scome.-Sidney Herald.
