The Miller q Beazley horse sale
proved very unsuccessful venture
for the promoters. There was all
kinds of stock on the ground for
sale but there were no buyers and
consequently no sales were made
The weather and the time of the
year had q great deal to do with
it, but the main feature, there
were no buyers from a distance
and the home people did not
want to buy. We regret verv
much the unfortunate outcome,
because these gentlemen had put
money and time in the enterprise
and were entitled to a successful
sale, but ''where there is a will
there is a way and it is de-
termined that Mt. Vernon shall
have a horse sale and that a stock
market shall be established here.
