W. G. Burgett Had Best Sale So Far This Season.

W. G. Burgett, northwest of town, who is preparing to move to a farm near Francesville, had a splendid sale Thursday, in fact, it seems to be the best sale held in this county so far this season. Especially did the cows sell well. A year ago Mr. Burgett purchased three pure bred and registered Shorthorn cows of H. W. Marble paying SBS each for them. These cows sold Thursday for an average price of $139.86 per head. Charles Lakin bought the highest priced one. paying $159. Each of the three cows had a calf, but one of the calves died about a week ago. The other two sold for sll9 and $151.50 respectively. Orville Lambert bought the higher priced one and Charley Lakin the other one. The calves are less than a year old. O. J. Kenton nd Jim Reed bought the other pure bred cows, paying respectively $l2O and $l4O for them. Some good grade cows sold up to SBO per head and four yearling calves brought $49.50 per head. Col. W. A. McCurtain cried the sale and reports it one of the best he ever handled. The sale totaled something more than $2,300,-, including some stock sold for other parties.
