The stock. sale herd by Mr.. H. K
Denton at his farm north of Hamilton
last Thursday was well attended and
Mr. Denton reports it as being very
satisfactory to him. The total receipts
of the sale were something over thirty
two hundred dollars. There was also
quite little stock in the way of horses
that he did not offer as there seemed
to be no buyers present for them.
The balance sold quite well.
Mr.. Denton has one of the finest
farms as to location and improvements
in this vicinity. At present there are
some Kansas parties negotiating with
him for the purchase Of 1t. He is how
ever quite Indifferent as to selling or
offering 1t for sale as it suits himself
and family exactly as home He has

upon the farm and it is his intention
to keep up his life's work, that of train
ing and driving horses and doing more
or less trading in the way of buyins
and selling.
