least 500 per ton. About 500 bushels
Of corn in crib sold to various buyers,
mostly at Sill, though the last OF the
lot went to Ed Johnson at $1.65 per
bushel.
Hog Buyers and Prices.
There was considerable competition
for brood sows and prices ranged
fairly high. A full blood Duroc SOW
with seven pigs went to H. A. Scott
at $S1, but this was not the top.
Jesse Bond got pair of Durocs with
seventeen little ones and they cost
him 1914 each. A. C. Underhill paid
$50 for a SOW, and Homer Bennett got
a SOW and pigs for the same money.
An extra large sow with eight piglets
cost John Mclean s91. and he also
bought the last two put up, bidding
$40 for choice and taking both at same
price. Tom Berger got a likely Duroc
gilt at STA, while Ralph Bennett again
invaded the hog ring long enough to
buy young sow at $64.50, and John
Patterson was lucky enough to get
pair OF them at $3.50 each. The hog
clearance took but little time and was
considered very satisfactory.
Cattle and Horses.
The top on horse was $3.50, and on
a team $3.50, Jesse Bond being the
buyer in each instance. The best cow
sold, according to the judgment Of the
bidders, was bid up to 1921, this being
the high dollar on mixers. Two good
looking Jerseys, the first pair to
show in the cattle ring, brought sS5
and $3.50 respectively. A registered
Golden Fern" COW was the one which
brought the most money. No Joplin
ers were offered in cows. such as
brought from $3.50 to 5000 at a sale
reported in Wednesdays Palladium,
but they were a creditable and WELL
fed lot and brought in considerable
money.
The Ladies' Aid of the Methodist
Episcopal church at Economy served
a nice lunch to all corners, and didn't
ask a soul If they belonged to their
church, or to any church. They be-
lieved in feeding the hungry and they
practiced that doctrine so freely that
at 1890 o'clock there was nothing
left but cookies and coffee. But as
they began serving at II o'clock 1t
isn't to be supposed that any went
| hungry. All members of the society
donated freely but not all we're pres
ent to help serve. The women who
served were: Mrs. Frank Greenstreet,
Mrs. Earl Cain, Mrs. Charles Mont.
gomery, Mrs. John Manning, Mrs. Oh
lie Weyl, Mrs. IWill Swain, Mrs. Ell
I bert Saunders, Mrs. George Ballinger.
Mrs. Ray Ballard, Mrs. Louis Albert.
son. Mrs. Charles Atkinson, Mrs.
Jesse Bond. Mrs. o. Cranor. Mrs. Gus
Weyl and the Misses Belle Conley and
Pearl Pugh.
They were still counting their
money when the writer left and we
daren't estimate their receipts, but
suppose we put it at thousand dol
lars to be sure of rating them high
enough.
The L. II. Beeson Sale.
The l.. II. Beeson and Son sale was
held on the Beeson farm, five miles
south of Richmond on the Liberty pike
on Wednesday. Forty-nine head OF
live stock comprised the bulk of the
offering. There was but a small dis
play of farm tools and implements.
and these sold at face value, as to
age and condition, the prices realized
being satisfactory, in the main.
Twenty-Five head of hogs went I'M
der the hammer, only five of which
were brood sows. Clarence Addleman
was the largest buyer in the hog lot
his purchases covering three pens OF
shoats at an average of 500 per head
and eight pigs at 50 each. Walter
Farlow secured two gifts at s2S each,
and Ed Rouston got his choice of sows
at SCI. ]. W. Collins paid $3.50 each
for two brood sows and secured a
young Big Type Poland male at s35
Cattle and Horse Buyers.
Quite number Of cattle were listed
and o. n. Long made the first selec-
ton, paying $40 per head for two
steers. Walter Farlow secured a red
heifer at $50 and steer at $50, while
c. K. Hazen bid In two heifer calves
at sac each. Joseph Mustard paid $50
for roam COW, which was within so
cents Of the top Of the sale, but J. W.
Collins followed him pretty closely
when he paid sS5 for his mixer. VIM
Seaney secured four heifers at s51.75
and spotted COW at s57. to be taken
to the tuberculosis hospital. Edward
Bachelor found Jersey which suited
him $1,000 worth, this being the best
price paid for cows. James McMur-
ray went as high as $50 for Jersey
while G. w. Harkelroad was lucky
| enough to get both COW and calf for
STA.
