NAVE’S BIG SALE WILL DRAW BIG CROWD.

Auctioneers Will Face a Vast Throng Of Bidders and Spectators If Thursday is Nice Day. - _ n Thursday of this week at the Nave Newton county ranch, southwest of Roselawn, will occur the great sale advertised so extensively by Firank Nave, of Attica. If the day is a good one there should be a mammoth crowd at the sale and the quality of the stock that will be offered will draw a lot of buyers from a long distance away.

The milk train stops at Roselawn, going in both directions, and this will be a convenient train for people from Rensselaer and the south. But Mr. Nave has arranged to have other trains stop there that day also, and -No. 32, northbound, due here at 10:05, will also make the stop. For the convenience of persons coming from and returning to the north, trains 5 and 6 will stop at Roselawn that day. No. 5 is the train due here at 10:55 and No. 6 is the train due here at 3:13. Three auctioneers and two clerks will have charge of the sale, and Col. Fred Phillips is to have the leading part in the sale. He will be assisted Carey N. Jones, of Chicago, and Robert A Butler, of Williamsport.

Joe P. Hammond and Chas. G. Spitler, of Rensselaer, will be the clerks. Mr. Nave has divided 374 acres of land into five tracts, four of which contain 83 acres each and the other 42, and these tracts will be sold at auction. On this the terms require one-fourth cash, balance in 5 yearn at 6 per cent. It is probable that a number of bidders will be on hand for the land, which is advertised as fine, level, black loam, all but 54 acres, which is in timber. There will be a lot of stock, including horses, mules, cattle, farming Implements, corn, etc. Mr. Nave gives spice tp his big bills by advertising angora goats to climb the trees and pick the fruit; 17 pairs of long-eared, gray, bob-tailed rabbits, which the fellows who buy the farms can have if they catch them; also one gray and streaked yellow cat, worth 100 times her weight in rats and sleeps out doors. *

The Nave sale looks very attractive «md the extensive advertising done in The Republican and other papers of large circulation should attract the largest crowd that has . attended a sale in this section of the state for a long time.
