Largely Attended.
A big crowd of people attended the
Pritchett sale at frankfort, Pike
county, Mo-, on Wednesday, Sept. Is,
where 1851 head of stock were sold
for S25, 206. 90.
Three auctioneers were required to
do the selling and three clerks to keep
the business straight.
This was the GROWING sale of Mr..
Pritchett in the thirty-six years he
has been holding annual and semi
annual exhibitions of fine stock.
He has very much enlarged his
operations by the addition Of several
hundred acres of land to his premises,
building additional stock pens, con-
structing buildings and improvising
sheds on either side of the arena of
sales, making two long corridors COW
cred with 1900 or 5000 feet of lumber
for the people to stand sheltered from
either rain or sunshine, and protected
from the stock by a new patent wire
fence. These improvements, with the
park of the deer and elk, make Pritch-
ett's annual sales phenomenal, and a
very grand institution for Pike county.
