PAGSZTINE

LIVE STOCK IS IN DEMAND AT WILLIAMSBURG COMMUNITY SALE

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN A lot of pet pigs, little fellows that were as white as pigs can possibly be, and looking as clean and Innocent as white kittens, cuddled close In a rude pen on the street side In Williamsburg on Tuesday. There were seven of . them, practically orphans, their doting mother having been sold Into captivity to some heartless farmer living over toward Milton. What Is all this rot about "pet pigs," do you ask? Ju9t a moment, friend. The pig Is about the cutest pet on the footstool, if coddled and given the right of way. The little chap will eat out of vour hand, will drink milk

from a cut glass goblet and enjoy his buttered toast on a monogramed plate If you'll let him. More than that, he will follow you all over the place, rub the shine oft your shoes with his nose, and beg to be taken up on your knee. - , Joking? No, sir. We never joke on serious Eubjects. But as we gazed admiringly on that bunch of Innocents and realized that those little fellows knew no more about the Williamsburg Community sale than some congressmen know of the scince of govrnment, we -decided to say a word to the auctioneer. After a brief chat, Simon Weddle, of Richmond, promised with tears In his eyes to see that the orphans should be sold only to some humane man, who will feed them three times a day. We felt better after that, and in due time a highearted man named Ed. Johnson, who lives In a Christian community named Greensfork, paid $6.90 apiece for those piglets. He put them : in his pockets to warm them up a bit maybe, for the wind was cold. Hogs and More Hogs. A community sale affords an open market place. Everybody is welcome , and everything goes. If you have but one pig you can consent to part with, it will be welcomed and sold for your account at such a sale; It you have a hundred, the more the merrier. This is the kind of sale they had at Williamsburg on Tuesday, and It was engineered by Kenneth Catea Simon Weddle of Richmond, and Albert Hindman, of Hagerstown, did the shouting and coaxing, and J. E. Healy, of Richmond, acted as settling clerk. Of course the sale was a success; - at least they took in about $4,000 in three hours, mostly cash. . , Hogs would have brought a little more money, perhaps, had the news that the $17.50 minimum will hold for February reached Williamsburg in time. But the sale was over before Washington sent that Important decision out. As It was prices were reasonably high and both buyers and sellers seemed satisfied. Earl Daugherty, of Greensfork, paid $230 for four brocd bows and another buyer got two small sows at $41 each. Floyd Hunt paid an average of $8.65 for 17 small shoats while Archie Brooks grabbed 10 larger ones at $20 per head. Horses all Sold. There was an active demand for horses, at a price, and everything put up was sold. True, some thought their horses should have brought a better figure, Btlll, taken as a whole, the sale may be considered as satisfactory to all concerned. H. E. Durbin of route 3, Hagerstown, got a nice looking animal at $157, while Howard Pickett went him $20 better on his purchase. When Grant Robinson came to bat he picked up a likely looking black mare for $70. Ed Johnson thought the black mare he was bidding on worth $103 and to this the auctioneer agreed. The highest price paid for a horse during the sale was $181, as we recall, and the buyer, B. Moore, said it was a bargain price. John Nicholson, who paid $165 for a fine bay, seemed to think the same of his purchase. Har

ris Davis paid $122 for a black mare. Three teams were sold the first a pair of browns, were knocked down to Harold Duke at $339; a pair of bays brought $290, while Floyd Cook got his team of grays for $240. The offerings of cattle were small

at Tuesday's sale, but of good quality.

The first lot put up consisted of six small steers, three of which wero picked out by George Dubois, of Lynn, at $40.50 each. ' The remainder being taken by Ed Johnson at an even $40, Mr. Johnson also got a Jersey heifer at $37. , O. L. Fenn, of Williamsburg, bought two Jersey cdws at an average of $71.50. vhich was considered an In side price for cows of their ages and records. - ; Very little in the line of sundries or implements were offered and the sale was brisk lrom start to finish, everything being cleaned up in about three hours. .-. 1
