A nostalgic column celebrates John Skinner, a longtime patriarch beloved for charity and hard work. The piece praises his integrity, jokes about beard growth in local gentry, and notes kin and townsfolk sharing memories and well wishes for his later years. It also weaves in passing scenes from nearby Osceola and Lincoln, with brief reflections on time, aging, and community ties.

Gubser has bought 72 horses and mules since February 5 and plans six carloads, with 11 towns billed this week and more to unload surplus stock. The Record lauds their hustling sale effort and notes recent purchases at McGimpsey’s sale averaging about 225 dollars per head.
