The individual who sets his or her

What They Want.

Four Philadelphia secondhand dealer.

sale, which opened at Sloan's this
morning..
Buyers who have stood in Sloans
nearly all day declare that these four
dealers have purchased nearly so per
cent of the goods sold, with about sc
per cent of the rest falling into the
hands of a scattered coterie of Wash
inEton junk and secondhand clothing
dealers. Individual buyers-actuai resi-
dents OF Washington-are said to
have purchased no more than per cent
OF the material on sale.
The Postoffice Departments new
dead-letter-sale policy will bring big
reduction in the receipts of the present
sale, compared to the amount received
In other dead letter sales. All morning
long, big boxes of material went for a
song because there was no competition
worth noticing.
Hear About Bargains.
The four dealers who came from
Philadelphia evidently got wind of the
bargains they would be able to pick
up under the new sales system. They
are said to be cooperating and cut

Prosecuting For Letting
Cattle Cross The Line.

Ollie Quarles and another resident
of Covington county, will be tried in
the court OF Justice Of the Peace
Blackledge at Moselle on the fourth
Saturday, for permitting cattle to
cross the Covington county line, and
enter Jones county, which is a viola
ton of the regulation OF the State
Live Stock Sanitary Board. 1t is
rather an unusual circumstance for
citizens OF one county to be brought
into another and tried for a violation
of the law, which is a result of no act
committed within the county, but this
has been held to be valid in the par
ticular law. This is the second pros
ecution of the kind to be brought in
he Fifth District of Jones county.
