 Mrs. Sorsby is very popular woman. and many citizens of the town could tell--as they often do-- of going to Mrs. Sorsby's home whom they were youngsters. where stone jars of crullers and bananas all ways awaited them-and where there were often, at one time, as many as 19 boys at play In her yard.
 She is a greater traveller, con- spicuous woman of the state at all times. and has been around the world, and several times to Europe. Of late years she has spent most of her winters in Florida and Cuba.
