AuctiOneerS Must Not hiSrepre>ent
Articles.

Some CT the monarChial, dictatOrlal
and absolute privileges Of the auc-
tioneer, that loud, sing-sOng-VOiced
parsonage, who leases an unSuSpect-
ing and gullible public into paying
atrOciOus prices for atrOciOu5 articles
with the aid Of fine words, eEtraEa-
CANT phrases and reckless handling
Of the truth were CLIPPED last week
in the Frederick County Circuit
Court when q jury in the appeal case
of D. Murray Stauffer against e. W.
Sappington and s. NJ. Poole, rendered
q verdict for the defendants. The
suit grew out OF the sale of two sale
and sound mules, auctiOneer-vOuched
mules, one of which wasn't quite so
sound and elegant an animal as the
auctioneer had painted.
The verdict of the jury has a far
reaching effect on the application OF
the laws of sales in Frederick county
where farm sales are as much OF an
institution as county plcnlcs. 1t
means that an auctiOneer may not
camouflage the wares OF his employ
ers with impunity. A spawned, rheu-
matte, heavy horse, with one foot
weakening and the other in the grave
NAV not be glowingly described as
Sound as a dollar, gentlemen, worth
two hundred" If he does the differ
ence in value must be made good to
the purchaser.
Not all auctioneers are given to an
extravagant and reckless use of ad-
iectives, but many have decided ten
dency and weakness to color facts.
On March 6, 1917, d. Murray otaut-
fer sold at public sale along with 9th
er property, two mules, to c. w. Sap
pington, KNOXVILLE, for 1920. At the
time of the sale the two mules were
described "strong. sound and alright.

equals - months.
Also note that when the kaiser
started the war he was s. years and

again fixes the kaiser's number.
Having established this fact one will
be interested in reading from the

And they worshiped the dragon
which gave power unto the beast;
and they worshipped the beast say
in, Who is like unto the lea It ?
Who is able to make war with him."
And there was given unto him a
mouth speaking great things and
blasphemies; and power was given
unto him to continue forty and two
months.
Here is wisdom. Let him that
