ANOTHER HOG SALE
ON NOVEMBER 18TH
FARMERS NOW HAVE MANY
PORKERS, AND EXPECT A
GOOD PRICE FOR THEM.

County Agent A. E. Gibson an
nounces that the Terrell County Live
Stock Association will hold their sec
ond cooperative hog sale in Dawson
on Wednesday morning, November
18th, at 1880 o'clck.
Farmers who have hogs to sell in
this sale should see or write Mr.. Glib
son, giving him some idea as to the
they will have, in order that
he may know just how many cars to
order Some little difficulty was expe-
rienced on last sale day by not having
enough cars to load the hogs received
and if the farmers would give this in
formation in advance of the sale it
would be much easier to hold a sue
cessful sale. Hogs must be on the
ground by 1880 for the train leaves
at II O'Clock, and the hogs will have
to be pulled out that day on that train
or lay over till the mkt day, thereby
adding extra expense to the seller
