The Enoch Osborne sale southeast
of Larned Tuesday was one of the
best sales held so far this year. Ev.
erything advertised was sold, and
brought more money than the owner
expected. The total sales amounted
to 81 ,SS2, of which all but S43.45 was
paid on them all in cold hard cash;
and the $4S.45 was divided into two
notes which Clerk John E. Wagner
pronounced good as gold. Such a re-
cord of good sales and cash at this
time is an indication that there is a
plenty of money in the country; and
also shows that while crop conditions
are not very promising just now, peo-
pie are not discouraged by any means
but are up on their toes and ready TO
jump into the collar as soon as rain
comes so that the plows may be
started on the work of putting out a
kaffir and feed crop which can yet
make 1913 beat the average wheat
year in Pawnee county.-Larned Til
