This fine fall weather is a splen-
did thing for the farmers giving
them chance to get the work nice
ly done up, even tho the preceding
seasons were late and unfavorable.
Many farmers in this vicinity have
finished blowing and all have
threshed. Many are hauling grain
to market, taking advantage Of the
good prices.
The auction at Wesley Sanders
farm in Harrison last Thursday was
a splendid success. 1t was very
we'll attended by people from almost
every part of the county. Every
thing was sold at a fairly good
price, especially the horses and cat
tie. One black mare brought $2OS.
Mr.. Sanders will leave in a short
while with his family for Renville,
where he, together with a cousin,
will establish a hardware store.
By the removal of Mr.. Sanders and
family the community loses most
valuable and esteemed citizens, not
only in social but also public inter-
ests. They will be greatly missed,
for Mr.. Sanders took an active and
untiring part in all good work.
Altho we regret to see them leave.
we wish them success and prosper
ity in their new home and business.

good people that they were on
friendly business. A very enjoy
able evening was spent, and before
