and OBSERVATIONS
In Clark. Democratic PTi-
maru. Saloons. Etc.

The writer was in Winchester on
Monday. About 1875 cattle were
at Scobee's yard; some were not
sold II steers and heifers about 500
lbs. sold at $4.15; heifers. 450lbs.,
a $15.25, later at an advance of
% cents each; 5 heifers, 800 lbs,
"a SIC; two punches of hogs, 125
lbs. to $50 lbs, sold at ~; young
cows and heifers sold at 34e. A
few scrub sheep were on the mar
ket. In several of the pens Mr..
Scobee has galvanized iron-lined
water troughs, thus giving ample
water to stock. We recommend
such an addition to the stock pens
in Mt. Sterling. The lot owner who
will make this addition will be apt
to increase his trade. Men should
consider the needs of animals to at
least slake their thirst.
