If the sale of automobile licenses'

$3,348 were sold in this county, as,
'against JJ..94MF fot tha same period

neighboring communities.

A gentleman, walking near Oxford
was met by some students of the

"I am not Father Abraham," said

JOHN FLYNN VICTIM
DREH TYPHOID
At 3 o'clock Monday morning th«y
grim reaper claimed the life of Joh«
Flynn, husband and father, and k
young man whose circle of friends
was limited only by the bounds oi

that ho was compelled to confine
himself to bed. He sank gradually
from that time until his demise.
John Flynn was 32 years of age;
was born In Blakely, Minn., August
15, 1889. Prior to coming to this
city with his wife and little daugh
ter Mr. Flynn resided in Spokane,
Wash. They came to this city about
a year ago and engaged In the hotel
buBineSB, and have gained hundreds
of friends throughout this entire dis
trict. Mr. Flynn was of a quiet, un
assuming disposition.
Besides Mrs. Flynn and little
daughter he is survived by a father,
three brothers and two sisters. Ho
was tho son of William Flynn of
Blakely, Minn., and the remains were
shipped to that city yesterday on No.

-
Tuesday, the family of Mr. and
Mrs. W. M. Thompson gathered at

d'ion being the 90th birthday anni
vfersary of Mr. Thompson.
Present wore their sons Alfred
sind Albert, their wives and chlld
Fen, and their daughter, Mrs. Carl
'Borg, her husband and children. A
sumptuous dinner was served and
the gathering was photographed at
the table. Conspicuous in the photo
graph is Mr. Thompson, holding on
his knee the four-months* old baby
of Alfred. These represent the old
est and youngest of the Thompson
family.
An observer would scarcely believe
that Mr. Thompson has passed the
90th
milestone;
his stature, eyes,
and intellect more closely feature a
man of 60 years.
