The Horse.T Traders Here

Elm Street was changed to Jockey
Row" Saturday. Horse-trading began
early and kept up the live long day.
The horse-traders blew in from the
South, having travelled seven months
through Florida and other States.
They camped on the outer edge of
Town Friday night and braved the
winds of blackberry winter. "While
we are not trading horses. we sell
goods on the SIDE" said the wife of the
horse-trader man. "We sell laces, etc. !"
One could not say many complimentary
things about them, except they were
healthy and clean. The friendship
that existed between the children and
horses was remarkable. Rachel and
Charles. two fat babies. not over three
years old. could pet the horses face
without fear and perfect confidence in
the dumb animals. These people with
the wander-lust are interesting human
beings and one could not help welcom-
ing them into our shop and giving them
q cup of water.
