FULCHUM-SANbORN
SALE SATISFACTORY
DESPITE RAINY DAY

After mature consideration and
much glimpsing of the moon a month
or so back, Fulghum and Sanborn, of
Center township, decided that We'd
nesday, Nov 8, in the year 1921, would
be a mighty good day for sale.
And in this judgment, Weddle and
Hindman, the auctioneers. concurred.
Being thus assured of a dandy day to
bring out buyers, they proceeded to
advertise and get ready to market Il
likely bunch of Poland China hogs
and eight pens of grade sheep, mostly
Shrops.
But, "as you never can tell about
what the weatherman will do" it was
thought best to be ready for emer-
gencies. The large, new implement
house was fitted up as a sale pavilion,
a comforting stove installed, and seats
for 200 provided Then they were all
set.
1t was a happy thought.
Plenty of Rain and Snow
When the early-rising farmer jump
ed out of bed Wednesday morning a
cold November rain was wetting down
the scenery. This went on either in
showers or drizzles up to o'clock
and then it showed.
But men used to tramping their farm
yards in rubber boots were not to be
kept away from a sale by a stormy
day. In fact many farmers were pres
ent because of the rain; it was the
only place in which they could get
busy. The crowd was a good one and
there were numerous buyers on the
bleachers when the auctioneer said
