GAVE EACH CHILD A FARM FOR CHRISTMAS

Ephrain Gilmore, of Lee, Gave 840 Acres of Land to His Five Children on Dec. 25th. Ephrain Gilmore made his three daughters and two sons happy at Christmas time by putting in the stocking of each a deed for a fann. Each received 160 acres, except Walter, who got *2OO acres, his land lying a little farther from the town. Mr. Gilmore had about 2,800 acres of land and decided to make this division at this time. All of the children are married and all but one are living now on the farms that were deeded to them. The children are: Walter and Elmer Gilmore, Mrs. Mary Holeman, Mrs. Sarah Jordan and Mrs. Artie Clark, the latter living at Morocco. »
