Highest Bidder.
The sale of the Jersey herd be
longing 10 DIR. K. Il. w. Thomas
took place at his residence in thi.
city Monday. Qnite n number d
cattle men from Il distance were
attracted hither by the sale and
many of our own citizens were
among the bidders and buyers.
Several of the finest cows were
bought by parties from Nashville,
Memphis and Kentucky, but it is
gratifying TO know that the major
portion of the herd is still owned in
Montgomery county.
The sale begun about IL o'clock,
that very efficient auctioneer, Mr..
Tom Hyman, being the cryer. The
bidding was spirited from the first,
and the average price paid was
good, though the figures obtained
for those cows that have place in
the American Jersey Cattle Club
Register, were not so fancy as the
same class of cattle sometimes
brings. The aggregate sale amount
ed to 50, 100. We give below a list

cient bids.
1t is easy to perceive at stock
sale that it makes a big difference
how COW is registered. Those
registered only in the American
Jersey Herd Book are not by any
means so valuable as those that
have place in the American Jersey
Cattle Club Register, Oak Hill
Beauty was the prettiest and most
desirable COW for use in the lot, but
she only brought $25i, and the
knowing ones say if she had been
in the A. j. G. c. r., she would
have brought 81 900.
President MADDEN came all the
way from his Taxing District to
buy Empress 81. She is a sprightly
heifer of Is summers and brought
$500 of the presidents good money.
He is enthusiastic about Jerseys.
The sale was very interesting
affair to all who attended, whether
they were purchasers or not. 1t no
doubt had a healthy influence in
stimulating our people to raising
fine stock, and we hope such sales
in this section will be frequent in
the future.
