COMMUNITY SALE At
CU[lEOKA WILL Be
ANNUAL EVENT THERE
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS OF
LIVE STOCK SOLD AT FIRST
OF SERIES.
HOGS and CATTLE ARE HIGH
Brought Splendid Prices, But Mules
and Horse Stock Sold Rather Low.
Generally the Sale Was Regarded
as Decided Success.

Five thousand dollars worth of live
stock was sold at the big community
sale at Wilkes Place, near Culleoka
on Friday. This was the first OF
what will probably be series OF
these sales, it being planned to hold
one every year. The sale met every
expectation Of its promoters and eX-
cept for mules and horse stock the
offerings were quickly taken at big
prices. The cattle and hogs were es-
pecially easily sold and brought big
values.
The major portion of the stock SOLD
was owned by J. Bell Farmer, OF
Wilkes Place, one of the largest farm
ers in the county. However, there
were nearly dozen other farmers of
the neighborhood who made offerings.
The expenses of the sale were divid-
ed pro rata in proportion to the
amount of each individuals sales,
making the cost very low.
Mares, colts and young mules sold
rather low, much less than was eX-
pected because of the advancing
price of mules. However, the cattle
sold high and especially was this true
of the short horn heifers that sold
close around $40 to the head. The
registered Duroc Jersey hogs from
the herds of j. B. Farmer and James
r. Williamson, of Fountain Greek
Stock Farm, sold at fancy prices. the
gifts averaging around S42 to the
head and the boars going at only
slightly less.
The auction was conducted by R. F.
Moore, an artist in his line. The la
dies of the Culleoka Methodist church
served luncheon on the grounds and
secured a goodly sum for the work
of the church. There were about
Ave hundred people present and the
we're well made.
