In giving the terms OF sale, and the
reasons for selling out. Col. Joe Ken
mel. the auctioneer. stated on Wednes-
day. that August Fowble valued his
wife's health more than all else beside.
and for this reason had not only sold
his farm, but would now sell every
thing on the place to the highest bid
der. without reserve"
The Fowble farm lies one mile
southwest Of Eaton. and adjoining the
Preble County Children's Home. The
feature Of the Fowble sale which ell
cited the greatest interest was the
disposal OF number Of Duroc Jersey
registered sows, and q lot of gifts
which are also eligible. These totaled
IS head and with two males and IS
fall shoats comprised an offering Of
10 head. all Of which were sold during
the afternoon session. Every seat in
the pavilion was taken before the sale
began.
No Fancy Prices Obtained
It looked as II there we're numerous
eager buyers, anxious to bid. when
the sale opened. and there was. But
none seemed especially eager to pay
Outside prices" as Is sometimes the
case where competition Is brisk and
pure-bloods are offered. Mr.. Fowble
provided q catalog for the convenience
of buyers.
The first SOW to be shown. Miss
Orion Eaton. was purchased by An.
drew Snyder Of Eaton, for $91. Fran.
els Vanoisdal Of Lewisburg, got the
second Offering at $74, and the third
at so. Howard Hart, of Eaton, was
the next successful bidder. He paid
SIS for his first selection and $40 for
the second. Stewart Bros. Of Cam
den: got Eaton Lady at $50, while VIM.
Erwin paid $74, and Simon Black paid
ST. for his choice. The last two were
gifts. D. L. Sheetz was lucky enough
to get two gifts at s56 each. william
Sheetz went higher. his costing $66.
DIR. Kemper was a regular bidder and
finally landed a couple of gifts at $66
each, and Ben Price also secured one
at the same figure. The top price on
gifts, we believe, was $7S, paid by
VIM. Erman. ]. M. Wilson got one Of
these at $50 and another youngster at
$42. From these figures one may get
a fair idea of the values obtained, de-
pending on age and appearance in the
sale ring.
T; Cattle Bring Good Prices.
But IL head Of cattle went under
the hammer, and John Parker, OF
Eaton. paid the top. $3.50. for a red
polled COW. Mr.. Parker also bought a
red polled heller at $91. Jess Ash
worth got Shorthorn COW at 500.
Harry Kautz was q persistent bidder.
He paid $50 for a yearling Shorthorn
bull and from SCI down to 500 for
four heifers John Garland paid $45
and Jess Brubaker $43 for two heifers
Henry Spahr got a fine looking COW
with calf at side for $780,
Two horses and two colts comprised
+, the Offering in that line. A six-year-
old bay mare was started at SITS but
SO many bidders fancied her that she
brought 1906. Next came three-year-
old black mare which reached $185,
while a two-year-old colt sold at $3.50,
and q yearling at $81.
Sale Nets $7,143.
The display of implements and ma
chinery was quite large and fair prices
were paid because, in the main. the
offerings were in good condition.
r. e. Heckthorn picked up a good
crn binder at $116. Harvey Weidner
paid $40 for double disc, and bind.
er which had seen a lot of service
went for $46.
SOTH seems 10 De scarce ana In DE-
mand at Eaton. at least 1t brings good
prices in the immediate vicinity and
the sale Of 700 bushels didn't bear the
market. The top sale was made at
$3.50 per bushel, so the clerk report
ed. Joe Kennel and George A. Shaver
were the auctioneers, Ed Mings. clerk,
and Silas Buriff, cashier Of the sale
Mr. Burin found $7,143 in cash, checks
and notes on his table, when settle
ments were all made.
FULGHUM-GOeLE SALE.
The Dagler-Fulghum-Go combina-
ton sale was held at the Reidston
stock farm, five miles west of Rich
mond, on Wednesday. The National
road and approaches to the grounds
were lined with cars and buggies early
in the day, and most of the crowd
fingered until the sale closed ut !
o'clock. The size Of the crowd may
always be partly estimated by the
receipts at the lunch table, and in this
instance these ran over sos at the
do Your Bit" clubs modest prices.
The liveliest bidding noted at this
sale resulted in the running up Of
