 | This week has been 8 most profitable one to stock raisers in this
 county as some very fine sales have l been made
 Mr. E. c. Bassett sold to Dunaway & Lambert at Orrville a very fine Hereford bull for $500. This is perhaps | the best price ever paid for one bull | in this county. MT Bassett bought the animal when very young and had l raised him. He is now just about three years old and weighs 1900 pounds. l When grown he will weigh about 210o pounds. The bull was exhibited on Court square and was pronounced the | finest ever seen here. The firm gave MT. Bassett his choice of the $500 in | cash or the value of it in -blooded | cattle and hogs.
 l w. B. Folmar & Sons sold to New | Orleans buyer this week 100 head of
 nice Pike county cattle. A feature of l this sale was the fact that the buyer paid one cent more per pound for this
 herd than he would have done before
 the tick eradication campaign. Thus
 Pike county, being out of quarantine.
 brought the owners about $7oo more 1 for the cattle.
 1 Some very fine hogs are being
 brought into this county now. Mir | Chambers a prominent farmer and stock raiser, bought recently nine very | T. | known Alabama firm for which he paid l $1400 more than $100 apiece. In the trade the firm agreed in case Mr.
 Chambers wished to sell to buy from
 him every four-month-old sow pig l from these sows at $25 each. l pr. P. U. Brown has also bought
 fine Duroc SOW, paying $75 for 1t. Bal
 lard Brothers of Mile. who are noted
 for their fine stock, recently purchased
 a very fine SOW. paying about $100 for 1t.

 From the large number of canines
 assessed in Pike county for taxation
 1t would seem that Pike county Is l dog county as we'll as hog and cattle
 county. There were 2499 dogs as-
 sessed Only 149s have been protected by payment of taxes. so the 1001 un-
 paid for canines are in danger of 1os-
 ing their lives as the law says all un-
 protected dogs must go.
