Valuable Horse Purchased.

Auctioneer P. A Bishop of Platte
vile was in Mineral Point Saturday.
His object was TO secure Rex from
bone, owned by James Harris, Jr.. MIR.
Bishop is the owner of Major Consul, a
prize winner at two Iowa State fairs
and also at some of our Mineral Point
fairs and has done as much to advance
the light horse industry in this part of
the state as it is possible for any one
man to do.
His selection of Rex Trombone TO
succeed Major Consul shows not only
Mr.. Bishops good Judgment but the
judgment of the majority of horse
breeders around Platteyille, where Rex
Trombone has been the past two sea
sons.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Harris will
see fit TO keep horse of this kind, at
Mineral Point. where horse breeders
will surely appreciate him.
