LEAVE FOR NEW HOME IN MONTANA

Charles H. Porter and his tenant, Charles Horsewood, finished loading their two cars of farm tools, household furniture and stock Thursday and left that evening for Harrison, Montana, where Mr. Porter recently purchased a 400-acre ranch. Mr. Porter accompanied one car and Mr. Horsewood the other. They expected it would take them from ten daya la two weeks to reach their destination. Mrs. Horsewood and two children will remain here with her mother, Mrs. Eleanor Adams, until- her husband and Mr. Porter get through with the cars. They will then start for Harriscm, but expect to stop off at Bismark, South Dakota, and St. Cloud, Minnesota, for a short visit with her brothers, Sanford and Will, respectively. w Mr. Porter’s sale last Saturday of property that he did not wish to move, and also some of Mr. Horse wood’s property; was a decided success, nearly everything selling for more than it originally cost, and late April Hatch chickens selling at $6 to $8 per dozen. A cow and calf belonging to Mr. Horsewood brought $137, while his Ford automobile sold for $2 more than he paid for it four years ago. It wa* a cash sale, too. The best wishes of Mr. Porter’s many friends and the friends oi the Horsewood family go with them to their new home.
