IS HELD UNDER DIFFICULTIES

E. G. Perrigo Swine Sale Handicapped by Various Causes. Several fro-mi Rensselaer and vicinity attended the E. G. Perrigo Big 'fype Poland China hog sale near Donovan, 111., last Friday. Mr. Perrigo had a very nice lot of hogs but was greatly handicapped in various way and as a result they sold at a much lower figure than they otherwise would. The printing house that was to furnish him with his catalogs had a strike on its hands and was unable to get them out, not notifying him until a few days before the sale, when it was too late to get a decent catalog elsewhere. Also, Mr. Perrigo was taken sick with Influenza a day or two before the sale, followed by pneumonia, and was unable to be present at the sale in person. Ht> was considered in quite a serious condition Friday, but was improving at last reports.
