zen is in earnest who said he

The public sale given by Geo.
Willing, in this city last Satur-
day, was not attended by large
crowd, but by enough persons
intent on purchasing to cause
the offerings to bring good fig

Willing is satisfied. Had the
!, weather been more moderate
more bidders would have attend
ed, which would have undoubt-
edly swelled the prices paid on
many articles.
p. J. Simonson has just re-
ceived a rotary meat grinder to

out as much in couple of hours
as could be done under the old

will be cut finer and more palat-
able. He is also considering
other improvements in the mar
ket which will be announced as
soon as promulgated.
