Quite a number of people who are
coming from neighboring towns to at
tend the Wood & Morgan sale have
been heard from. They are coming

some one will make dollars at the
wood a Morgan sale tomorrow. The
wetter the weather the smaller the
crowd, and the smaller the crowd the
slower the bidding. So it will be seen
that no one should stay away on ac-
count of the weather, for that is the
best time to get a bargain.
