sale.
Sale Nets Over $4,000.
Thirteen may be an unlucky number
but who among us would not prefer
getting s13 to SIP, and just so with
thirteen thousand. The Miller sale
netted 1921, and ranks among the
headliners. Some more than ordinar-
lily high prices were paid for cattle.
For instance, one Shorthorn heifer
brought 5000, the top on cows; and
d. e. Haskell was the buyer Mr..
Haskell paid in about $4,000 for cattle.
E. E. White of Knightstown, did al
most as well by the cashier Of the
sale. Luke Langston is not to be
overlooked, either He bid $102.75 on
sixteen head of steers, likely bunch,
and this one purchase cost him over
$1,000. The rest of the cattle went to
various buyers at different prices, a
number of cows selling above $50
w. E. Dynes was also a heavy buyer
and spent at least $1,000 in the vari-
Gus rings.
Among the buyers Of cattle were:
Wright and Dynes, Centerville, two
red COWS at $3.50 each, and one cow
at 1854; Morton Stanley, two white
faces at S110 and $50; James Ma
roney, two Shorthorn cows for $3.50,
one heifer at 500, two red COWS at
s117.50 each; Charles Curtin, COW OF
$123; Emory White, one COW at $107
and another at $162,50; Charles Has
kett, COW at S105; Claude Haskell,
COW at s107.50; Bud Clayton, heifer
at $3.50 and COW at $102; Bob Hens
ley, heifer at $50; Clayton Kimmel,
COW at Sill; Ollie Hodgin, calf at
SAL, and other cattle. ALT. Langston
paid SIS, then $50 and next 500 for
cows, and took in calf at SAL for
good measure. James Maroney was
also among those present and his
cows cost him $50, $S5 and $3.50. John
Dynes selected two cows for which he
paid $125 each.
What Horses and Hogs Brought
The first horse to show was an
eight-year-old bay mare which went
at S170, X. Staut being the lucky man.
George Taube made a selection next,
his gelding costing him $172.50, after
which Charles Butler got a black
drafter at S136. The next to be Of
fered was a pair of black geldings,
which went to Charles Anger for $403,
and looked fully worth the money.
Omer Taylor got the next team, gray
geldings, at a cost of $500, after which
Mr.. Taube picked up couple OF
horses, singly, at prices which looked
good to him. The horse sale may be
considered very satisfactory, all'round.
Charles Shortridge, Frank c. Dillon,
Carl McNutt and Roy Thomas were
among the horse buyers.
A big Duroc COW brought 5000 and
as far as our notes show, this was
the top in the hog ring. Burley Jor-
can was the buyer and he also took
in a number of swine, his next SOW
costing him just $40 less. Clint Stone
cipher bought a pen of nine feeders
at SIS per head, also two sows at Sl4
and S75 each. Will Ward paid from
$50 to $5S for few gifts, after which
Abner Langston picked up a SOW at
s73, Fred Palm one at S51, and Riley
Laymon another at S54. Then Mr..
Palm again got into action and bought
two gifts at $3.50 each. Glen Golay.
Webb Runnel, and few others took
in hogs at various prices.
Ladies' Aid Serves Lunch.
The ladies who served the lunch at
the Miller sale are entitled to credit,
compliments and cash, and received
all three in good measure. 1t was not
an auSp1ClOuS Qay TO dlIellu d SdlC, "
begin with, and when one contem-
plated the array of pies which the La
dies Aid of the Friends church Of
Dublin had constructed and donated,
and then brought out to the sale; also
the several other appetizing dishes, a
part of which were cooked in the Mil
Ter home and served hot, one felt like
being really grateful for such service.
The entire membership of the society
donated something but all were unable
to attend Those present to serve
were Mrs. Emma Henby, Mrs. Glen
Gilbert, Mrs. Cora Kellum, Mrs. Della
Taylor, Mrs. Martha Henley, Mrs.
Florence Smith, Mrs. Amanda Hall,
Mrs. Anna Miller, Mrs. Jennie Hunni-
cut, and the Misses Ethel Macy and
Mary Hoover.
There was a hungry and urgent
crowd in waiting when the dinner bell
sounded the dinner bell' in this in
stance being the musical voice of one
of the ladies who announced the glad
tidings to the men waiting outside in
the chilly atmosphere.
The crowd was much larger than
one might expect in view of all the
circumstances, and it was composed
mostly of buyers who came for bust
ness. A pleasant day and good roads
