Old-Time "Cronies' Meet.
There was certainly an enjoyable
meeting of old-time "cronies" at the
home of J. I). Tigner on Tuesday eve
ning of this week, when Mr. Tigner,
Walt Vallery, George Rhoden and
last but no means the least, Silas Pat
ter, on, from Texas, met at the Tigner
home for a review of genuine early
days in Cass 'county. These men are
among the best that ever hailed from
any country, and as their boyhood
days were spent here together, this
evening of after years was indeed a
pleasure to each of the four. Mr.
Patterson will remain in this section
: few lays longer, and will then go
to his old home in Pennsylvania, for
a visit, before returning to hi Texas
home.
Combination Sale Well Attended.
The Young & Creamer combination
public sale, held Tuesday of this
week, was very well attended, but, ac
cording to reports, there were not a
great many lively bidders on the
ground, and the property sold lather
..heap; this is according to the owners
of the property, and they ought to
know about what it should bring. J.
D. Shrader was on the ground with
the usual fine hot lunch, and business
with him was about as usualy busy
all the time.
