Matlack has averaged eighty sales a
year, or four thousand different sales.

able property selling real estate far
IN excess of 100000 as well as great
quantities of personal property in
Guiding much live stock. Advancing
years has made Mr. Matlack less ac-

orous and when making a sale for
the Sheriff retains his alertness and
skillful work. S'
