Isaac Parker Sale Wednesday Was a Real Live Hummer.

Isaac Parker had a splendid sale Wednesday. There was a big crowd and every one seemed there for business. It was one of the best sales of the season and Auctioneer Phillips had the bidders coming his way right off the reel. Of course, Ike Parker is known as a breeder of first class horses and he was largely his own advertiser, for every one that knew him knew that he would have as fine a lot of horses as have been offered under the hammer this year. He had one team that brought $4lO, the horses selling Separately $205 each. Another .horse brought S2OO flat and another $lB7. * One 4 ear-old Jersey cow brought $99 and her 2-year-old heifer calf -brought SSO. C. W. Bussell thought the old cow too good to leave Hanging Grove township and John CL Maxwell bought the heifer for a Rensselaer town cow. • Farming implements and everything brought good prices and it was a cracking good sale throughout. Mr. Parker and family will move to a farm near Mitchell, S. Dak., about March Ist.
