   Mr. and Mrs. Daniel G. Nelson have sold their attractive home at 312 Fair street to the Milton Westlakes of this city, who will take possession on October 25. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson will make their future home in Los Angeles, Calif., where a number of her family members live, leaving for the West Coast the latter part of October. The Nelsons came here 15 years ago, at which time he purchased the Sycamore Laundry from Clayton Burress, retiring from that business about a year ago. Their many friends whom they have acquired during their residence here are reluctant in having them leave.
