sale had been going on for an hour
prevents giving credit to many. Fol

oats, corn in generous amounts, po
tatoes, chickens, from dressed ones

midnight, a number of the prominent
men of the town were caught with
articles to which they had no right

they were fined, the fines amounting
to $685. Coffee and sandwiches were

time and strength that day to the
task but other helpers who will vol:
