Some county seats are organizing
sale days" Wellington is the
proper town to have a day Of this
kind, say once a month, when our
townSpeople, as well as the farmers of
Sumner county can. bring in any of
their surplus articles of the house or
farm, stock, etc. An auctiOneer is
employed by the city, usually. where
the sale days have been successful.
The sale day is great boom for the
towns where it already has been
adopted. The monthly sale days
draw an unusually large crowd of
people. We hope our public-Splrited
citizens and farmers will give this
matter their attention.
