Harry ID. Piatt, local representative

sale belongs to Tom Dover, youthful
SPECTATOR. Time and time agar
| when it seemed as tho Mr.. Piatt had
| reached the end on a batch of hogs
Dover made bid and started the thing
off again. Finally. he succeeded il
landing one batch of hogs.

the hog given to it by the committee
Mr.. Chandler. of Morris & Co.. bid q

pound, but lost the hog when Tom
Daley bid 30 cents.

early, and did their share. They were
active in bidding on all punches, and
took quite a~few Of the hogs. This
pleased the crowd very much.
