BIG CROWD HERE WEDNESDAY

To Rensselaer’s Second Monthly. Horse Sale, MANY ANIMALS CHANGE HANDS And the Number Offered Came From Many Different Localities In This Section of the State—Next Sale April 6. Rensselaer’s second monthly horse sale was a hummer. A host of buyers were here and all the livery and hitch barns were practically filled with horses for sale, providing the owners could get their price, which is many instances was almost out of reason and higher than buyers could afford to go. In such cases the owners did not care much about selling, but would sell if what they considered a great big price was offered. The foreign buyers, of course, were buying for the market, and they could not pay for an animal more they could get for it and enable them to make a little profit. It was impossible to Team the exact number of horses sold, but the number was probably in the neighborhood of 60, some of which were sold to farmers themselves. were brought here from all parts of the country adjacent to Rensselaer, from Goodland, Brook, Morocco, Medaryville, Wolcott, etc., and the crowd of people in town was a sufficient guarantee that it was a success in bringing people to Rensselaer. The next sale will take place on Wednesday, April 6, and every farmer or any other person having a horse to sell, or wanting to purchase one should be sure to come out to this sale. It costs you nothing whatever to offer your animal for sale, or to sell it, except the trifling expense you are to in coming here. The sale is free in every way. Remember these sales take place on the first Wednesday of each and every month, and make it a point to attend if interested.
