Rich Sale Was a Hummer, Splendid Prices Prevailing.

The J. D. Rich sale was a fine one and the large crowd of buyers went after everything offered in old time style. Colonel Phillips reports it the best sale of the season. The sales totaled between $5,000 and $6,000 and everything brought a good price. The cow stock brought from SSO to $lO5 per head. Four mares brought a total of $ 1,244.50. Three of the mares were registered, being 2, 6 and 10 years of age respectively and tho fourth was a grade mare. This was an average of s3ll per head. The terms of the sale provided for a discount of only 2 percent and the notes bore interest from date at 5 per cent, which is less favorable for high bidding.
