degrees lower on Monday, it is very |
likely that prices for live stock at the

ruled considerably higher. The Schnei |
der place is located five miles south |
of Milton, on the Connersville pike, |
and about $50 head Of stock was on |
sale.

and to many the shaded lawn was
more tempting than bargains in hogs |.
and cattle. A lot of seasoned veter- |
ans, however. followed the auctioneers
all W and down along the line of
pens. where the hogs were watcred
and sprinkled from time to time. This
loyal bunch stood by until the last
animal was sold
Aside from a few odds and ends In
harness, ETC., this was entirely live
stock sale. There was a lot Of baled
straw which sold at 27 cents to 80
cents, and some potatoes which were
priced at SO per bushel but no imple-
ments were displayed.
The sale was cried by Colonel Will
lam Flanagan and Fred Lake, Of Con-
nersville. from whence also hailed
l.. K. Tingley, Of the First National,
