ALL ABOUT HORSE
Inc Interesting event OF the past week In
this place, has been Charley Stearns' horse
purchase. For a long time it has been very
evident that more horses were needed to
carry on the tub business, and Charley has
had an eye out for a horse that could be
bought low and yet fill the bill. One day last
week one of Stoves citizens came to town
with a horse, which must be sold to satisfy a
claim. 1t was a fine looking horse, weighed
about 1,l5O and was just what Stearns
wanted, The animal was put up at auction
and for a time the bidding mot the horse)
was quite spirited. Finally Stearns bid $50
and the horse was his. "What bargain I've
got, thought Charles, and so did many of
the lockers on. man was engaged to hitch
him up and go over on "French Hill" after |
load. The animal started off, but suddenly
concluded to remain stationary" All the $
gentle persuasions known to horses were ap-
piled, and then more violent measures were
resorted to. He had no idea of going; his
staying qualities were great. score of men ) J
