A few weeks ago w. P. Hall, the big
horse buyer from Lancaster, Missouri,
better known as "Plug Hat" Hall, was
in Leon and noticed the fine set of brass
mounted harness on one of Daugherty's
bus teams. He asked Byron where he
got them and was surprised when he
told him they were made right here in
Leon qy the Lane Implement Co., and
told Mr.. Daugherty to order him set
just like them and ship co him at Ian.
caster, regardless of the price as he said
they were the finest draft harness he
ever saw on team. The harness were
made and trimmed by Add Ausman,
the veteran harness maker in charge Of
the harness room at the Lane Imple-
ment Co.'s store and were shipped to
Lancaster Saturday where Mr.. Hall
will use them in showing his horses to
eastern buyers, as he has from 200 to
1000 head on hands all the time. 1t
was quite testimonial and big adver-
tisement for both Leon and the Lane
Implement Co. to receive this order, for
Billy HALLS man who never stops
at the price, just so he gets the best,
and he certainly got the best that
money would buy. The harness depart
ment Of the Lane Implement Co. is do
ing big business and they can furnish
you anything you want in light or
heavy harness, hand or machine made

John Mendall, an old man 81 years
old, who was indicted last March for
selling whiskey at Davis City, was ar
rested Friday afternoon and placed in
the county Jail, it being claimed he was
again selling liquor. The old man does
not deny the charge, but says it is the
only way he can make living. An
arrangement was made so that he was
transferred to the county farm Sunday,
where he can be kept better than at the
Jail, but he will have to be watched or
he will be bootlegging whisky to the
other inmates, for the old man has been
at it so long it will be hard matter for
him to quit.
