Coming down to April. 1916. and

by a mar who has since died.
And as of now, October, 1916, pre-

All of the suits have attached the

No reputable attorney Of Butte wanted

No recently acquired regard for

Al Mcleod, sheriff. and candidate
for reelection, recently over the radio

that if he was reelected he would
conduct the affairs of the sheriff's

That is a guarantee that there will

new publication-Mrs. Taft Basis
Sampson County Year Book for

We said all the other Southeast

to follow Mrs. Bass's example and
compile annual year books of their
own.
There's no telling what interest
ing and valuable things such books
would bring to light and, most i'm
portant, perpetuate.
For example, if it weren't for
Mrs. BASIS book we probably never
would have known that the worlds
first automobile was invented right
here in the Tar Heel state.
