NO NOTES AT PUBLIC SALE.

• Daniel Hollingsworth, a fur buyer, who makes this city quite often, tells of sitting at a table in a hotel in Knox a few days ago and while talking to an auctioneer, who had cried a public sale that day, the clerk of the sale came to the table and paid the auctioneer $14.00, which represented the auctioneer’s commission for the sale. The remarkable thing is- that the sale which netted more than $2,000 was all paid in cash. Not a single note, was given. Surely the Knox county farmers are prosperous.
