At the Tom Harvill sale cows sold
from 500, to 800. It seems to us if a
man can get such prices for milch
cows there would be no need of
going up in Northern Wisconsin to

and we regret very much to have
them move away.

pork, golden butter, cream and other
good things so our folks capped the
climax by taking the oysters right
along with them. To say the event
was happy one would be drawing it
mild; we take the liberty to draw on
Teddy's vocabulary, when we say they
had bully time.
