Wade Sale Was a Hummer; Best Heard of This Fall.

The Harry E. Wade sale, in Newton township, Wednesday, was the best we have heard of this fall, and so lively was the bidding and so high did the prices soar that it reminded one of the sales held a year and two years ago. The sale was conducted by Auctioneer John Culp. It totaled about $2,600. Thirteen head of cows mi heifers brought an average of $52.50, the best cow selling for S6B. This seems to dispel the belief that dairy stock prices are on the down grade. One mare brought $250 and another brought $240. Everything went at a good price and the crowd was so lively in its bidding as to cause a double wonder on Harry’s part. He didn’t know whether the people were glad to get rid of him, or, since he was determined to go, thought they would let him know how much he was appreciated. It was a good sale; looked like old times, and was calculated to make a fellow forget the democratic victory of Nov. Bth.
