the American vessel! was sent b;
a British warship toward a con
trol port within the combat area.
London, Feb. 13. Great Britain

i least one other air-skilled neutral"

Sol Woods
Uncle Sol We>ods was in town
today—frst time we've seen him
for years. Don't come over oft
en. Une'e Sol is 78 years old, is
a strong Primitive Baptist, a
dyed-in-the-wool Republican, and
a good farmer. Don't owe any
man as much as 5 cents.
If there is a better citizen than
Uncle Sol in the county we have
got to see him yet. We value
his long friendship.
Dixie, his son, was along, too.
Dixie is all right too, and if he
lives to be 78 will be a man.
