Breeders will find in to-day's paper p.
Hefley's advertisement of his Clydesdale
and trotting horses. Mr.. Hefiey has in
these horses all that can be desired as a draft
horse, or in the roadster class, and breeders
will not find a better lot of horses anywhere.
Mr.. Heffley has been the pioneer in this
county in introducing imported horses.
First his famous 4" Niger" whose colts can
daily be seen on the streets. Then his Per-
cheron horse, Sultan, that was pronounced
by all to be the best representative of the
race in the State, both having died, which
was a great loss TO him. The farmers who
do not ~patronize a man who has the courage
TO buy at big prices such valuable horses as
he now offers to the public, fail to appreci-
ate the enterprise of Mr.. Hetiley.
