The opportunity to buy wanted live
stock, implements, etc., at Feoruary
farm sales is to be augmented TO
cover long list of human needs Dy
the folks of the New Westville, Ohio,
Friends church, on Thursday, Feb. 70.
In looking over the bookings to-date
we find that they cover pracucally
everything offered at country clean
up sale, together with numerous items
not usually listed on such occasions.
For instance, there will be washing
machines, gasoline ranges, couches,
chairs. tables, brooders and one thing
you don't see very day, nor every
where, and that is a rag carpet loom.
There will be raft of different kinds
of poultry and if your children are
pining for pet rabbits, you will find
them at New Westville. Cattle,
horses and hogs, did you ask? Yes.
certainly. Plenty of them, also har-
ness and storm buggies. But listen,
| perhaps an auto would suit you best
and there will be few of these. also
trucks. on the sale bill. If you are
afraid of a coal strike you will find
samples of rs cords of wood from
which to select.
Don't Overlook That Dinner.
Two members of the New West
vile congregation were in to see us on
Thursday afternoon. They informed
us, confidentially, that the ladies OF
the church are preparing to break all
chicken-dinner records next Thursday
and are expecting many Richmond
folks to come over and enjoy it with
them. The basement of the church
will be turned into dining room and
are confident that there will all sorts
of nice trimmings, including pies, cake
and cream.
