The T. Howard Mitchell farm was
sold at public auction Saturday after
noon on the premises, and was pur-
chased by Captain James G. Leonard,
the purchase price being $4,000.
On account of the fact that for two
| Saturdays in succession it rained so
| hard that the sale could not be held,

well attended, and the bidding for a
while was quite spirited.

Spence's Minstrels, which comes to

clustered around it for fifty years be-
long to another period-a period
now happily closing. A new strug-
gle and new set of experiences have
cut across the lines engraved from
1861 to 1865. The day, which has
