While Florida oranges have
advanced a little in price the
last few days, they are far more
plentiful than California stock
and selling at a little less than
half the price at wholesale.
The turkey market has been
greatly upset, of course, by the
reports involving disease on one
farm near Detroit which became
public at a most inopportune
time.
The physiological effect of
the publicity and the wild
stories in circulation on thous-
ands of people has been TO
make them unjnstlY view all
turkeys with suspicion. The re-
suit has been TO throw an un-
usual demand on other types
of poultry.
An unusual demand for fresh
eggs has caused a sharp advance
of three to six cent per dozen at
wholesale on all sizes and grades.

NEW SCHOOL BOND
ISSUE TO BE VOTED
ON THIS YEAR

An 100000 bond issre r
school construction will probab-
ly come before the voters of the
county for decision in June.
That item was part of the re-
cord breaking budget submitted
to the Board of Supervisors last
week. The budget called for a
building program Of $1,207 ,493.
Slightly more than four hundred
thousand dollars of this sum
comes as an outright grant from
the state.
The proponents of the plan for
a bond issue first sought addi-
tional funds by means of a re-
assessment of real estate. When
that movement failed, the bond
issue plan was brought forth.
The detailed plan of school build
ing has not been officially re-
vealed, but it is understood to in
clude new buildings at Haysi
and at Clintwood.

County Attorney
Moves For Custer
Of Supervisor

Joe C. Dotson, Kennedy Dis
trict supervisor, commended in
court Monday that he was a resi-
dent of the county and district
within the meaning of the law,
and therefore entitled to retain
his office.
It was stated that the supervis-
or some time ago disposed of his
property in this county and NOV
ed to Coeburn, where he is engag
ed in business. The attorney for
the commonwealth filed a petition
with the court asking that Dotson
be removed from office on ac-
count of non-residency.
Dotson, through his attorney,
S H Sutherland, demurred 10
the motion. In addition to alleg-
ing that he is resident of the
county and district, the super
visor stated that the petition
against him was improperly
drawn.
Judge Smith has taken the case
for consideration and is expected
to render decision before April
first

MARY ELIZABETH
HOLBROOK DIES AT
AGE OF Ill
BY HAMPTON OSBORNE

Mary Elizabeth Holbrook pass
ed away at the home of a daugh-
ter, Mrs. Milton French, near the
mouth of Big Spraddle on Nc
Clure River, Sunday, March 5th
at pm.
Mrs. Holbrook was a little over
one hundred and eleven years old
according to her statement and
the testimony of old people who
have passed on to their reward.
Her memory was most vivid to
the very last and she could recall
incidents of her childhood and
the Civil War period as though
it were but yesterday. She retain
ed until the end of her life many
cherished mementos of her early
life, such as an old side-saddle,
her old quilted bonnet, the old
long-stemmed clay pipe which
she was using at her death and
which she used only after meals
and before retiring "'iust to slim
ulate her bit".
She was put away in a most
beautiful black cashmere dress,
the like of which could not be
bought now. She had beautiful
black silk scarf of exqsisite de-
sign on her head, as was her Gus
tom in life. These burial clothes
were bought by her husband, j
w Holbrook, more than IS years
ago, before his death. Aunt Mary
had carefully guarded them from
ravages of moths by the use of
twist tobacco, which old people
used before the introduction of
moth balls.
e, Her husband was Civil War
veteran on the Confederate side
and saw service in the battle OF
the Wilderness and other import
ant engagements of the war. He
was held a prisoner by the Yam
KEGS for one year after the war
had closed On Harris Island.
Aunt Mary is survived by the
following children: Mrs. Sabra
Kilgore, Mrs Caroline Minton,
Mrs Mary Robinson, Mrs Milt-
on French, with whom she spent
much of her last years and at
whose HON she died; Henry Hol-
brook, Ason Nelson Holbrook
died at the age of four months
For the past fifty years she had
been member of the Primitive
Baptist Church. Aunt Mary was a
kind and affectionate woman and
has a host of friends and relatives
to mourn her loss.
