Mr. Gladfelter came here from Dallas- town, opened a new bakery but busi- ness at this time is a struggle for near- ly everybody. About two weeks ago a manufacturer came here and removed one of his leased machines. Several days later a constable levied { on his remaining equipment for rent due and advertised a constable’s sale. Frank waived the $300 exemption law and a few days later the Sheriff levied on his personal property and advertised a sale to be held last Friday. There was no sale that day because Gladfelter went bankrupt. No schedule of assets and liabilities was filed. Ei MlHA'—)=znr¢”.]ppfmRO°o SUSPECTED THIEF CUTS P. R. R.

She is not great or famous, nor known in realm of art, But she is rich in treasures, which guide a kindly heart. Her life’s a living sermon of hope and gentle acts. A test for human nature, that’s found in living facts, She’s patient, pure, and happy, in these her twilight days. Her lips are ever ready to comfort or to praise, Her soul’s a gleam of sunshine, a rainbow in life’s showers Her presence is a garden of ever-blooming flowers. Which time can never wither, for recollections rare, Shall bloom around her memory and twine love’s gar- lands there.
