Finest Cattle on Market Were From Jasper County.

One day last week R. A. Parkison had two car loads of cattle on the Chicago market They were even in size and of unifornd color and all 3-year-olds. They had been fed since the first of February and were a mighty fine lot of cattie and they took the eyes of the buyers in the Union Stock Yards and brought the top price on the Chicago market that day. One load brought 17.35 per hundred and the other |7.25. The market was pot so strong that day as it had been a few days before and most native cattle brought only |6.90. The price paid was a compliment to the feeding ability of the’shipper tyid was very gratifying to him.
