SALE NEAR LOS ANTSVILLE NETS ELBERT WHITE TOTAL OF $7,300

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN ! It wu a brilliant and Inviting morning, a morning musical with the song of birds and the air was surcharged with spring fever for the city man who longed for a Jaunt Into the country, or to go aflshlng. It was a great 'day for a sale, the best ever, for the neighbors could bring friend wife and all the children to visit, to rest and to play. ' It Isn't practical, of course, to close the banks and all the business houses on a Tuesday morning, simply because tbe air is balmy and springlike and someone la going to hold a farm sale, to reach which would mean a delightful ride over smooth, well-kept country roads, at the end of which a generous lunch and an Interesting scene awaited. In such an event the lunch would not hold out, but there would be plenty of clean space to spread ar.d enjoy the contents of the baskets that the visitors had themselves provided. Some day In the distant future it may be possible to shut up a town Just as one closes a rolltop desk, with all business cares locked In and all the pleasures of life awaiting our enjoyment in the care-free out of doors Right then will bo sensed the dawn of the Millennial Day, of which a seeth- ... ing world givea little present promise.

THE ELBERT WHITE SALE The Elbert White farm lies within sight of Losantville. and just a mile south on the main traveled road. The roomy old farm house, with Us large lawn, big barn yard and level surrounding fields provided a most satisfactory site for a large sale, and room for any kind of a crowd, and for all the cars and buggies that might bring visitors. The ground was dry and the air warm, so both overcoats and rubbers were left In car or buggy, and this for the first time during the present year of grace, at any farm sale the writer has attended. Tuesday, March 25, was certainly Mr. White's lucky day. In his advertising matter Mr. White stated that he had sold his farm, was to give possession on April 1, and that this explained his selling at auction every ing not to be needed in his new home at Losantville. Charles Pet

ty, of Hagerstown; Is the purchaser of the farm, and Aaron Worl Is to be the new tenant. Mr, Worl was a liberal buyer all over the lot on Tuesday. Sale Netted $7,300. While the White sale does not rank among the largest of the season, there can be no doubt that the prices realized were, in the main, very satisfactory, and a total of $7,300 was netted. It was an ordinary, everyday farm sale, with nothing In particular to excite competition nor to call for outside prices. No registered stock was on offer and the display of farm Implements, while farly liberal, had seen a lot of service. Two good teams of horses looked better than the money they sold for. but th buyers were presumably the best judges as to what they were worth to them. F. II. Thompson, cashier of the sale, stated that ho was counting on this being the last time he would act in that capacity, after an experience of firteen years, Mr. Thompson has long been cashier of the bank at Loaantville, but has recently purchased the Clark Brothers mill and elevator at Hagerstown. and quits banking on April 1 to take possession. Earl Rawlings, of Losantville, assisted as clerk

of the sale. There were two auctioneers on the grounds, Simon Weddle of Richmond, and Clem Conway of Mooreland, and Tuesday was one of their busy days, at least from 10:30 until nearly 5 o'clock. If roast chicken or chicken potpie interests you, the fact that 48 single comb Buff Orpingtons sold for $100.68, or at more than $2 each on the farm, means something as to the price of these birds per pound, when dressed, to say nothing of the cost of the "trimmings" to complete the dinner. With reference to the demand for farm implements, everything in the line went readily. The three items sold were worth passing mention were: Grain binder to Ray Linville at $90; corn planter to M. Rutherford at $34. and a little gasoline engine to

Harry Macey at $33. tne lauer Dnnging within a few dollars' of its cost when new. Harry Macey also paid the high dollar on harness, a work set costing him $88. This harness was sold In sides and sections, a strap and buckle, so to speak, at a time, so that the buyer, until he comes to foot up his purchases doesn't realize how badly he has been let in; providing he Is a generous bidder and has a hankering for that particular outfit. Frank Snyder got the running gear of a good wagon at $62 and the "bed" for a $5 note. At the sale of odds and ends of furniture, etc., 48 yards of carpet brought 78 cents per yard, not a high price as the cost of new carpets go. A small lot of corn sold at from $1.58 to $1.67 In 50 bushel lots. Livestock Prices and Buyers. Ten head of horses went under the hammer at various figures. The cream of the offering was two teams, which, were first sold separately and then as pairs. The first, a team of matched sorrels, went to Aaron Worl at $122.60; the second, a team of geld

ings, was bid In by Clell Buckingham, of Lynn, at $450. Hogs are hogs these days and there was some competition in hog circles when these were reached. Dick Conway secured the choice of the lot when he picked a whale of a Chester White sow with seven lusty piglets for the modest price of $92. A black sow and four pigs brought but $57 two minutes later. "Dad" Harris paid $69.75 for a good sow; Harry Macey got the next choice at $50.50 and another at $44; while Ed Brown got a sow at his bid of $42.75. John Smith went aa high as $57.50 for his selection in the hog ring. In addition to the sows and gilts, there were 78 head of feeders, of which Dock Bookout selected ten at $12.85 and ten more at $12.55. Tot Trainor secured twenty head at $13 and $13.50 while Dick Conway picked up ten head at $12.35. U. M. Stewart was the most liberal buyer of sheep. Some choice ewes were put up for which he paid from $23.50 to $26 per head, five lambs be

ing thrown in for good measure. Mr. Stewart also got a buck weighing something less than a ton for $11.75, and another at $9. Twenty-seven head of ewes, thirteen lambs and two males made up the sheep list.

Of the thirty-odd head or cattle Boia a cow with young calf, bought by Aaron Worl, brought the most cow money, $106; Elmer Canton was a close second, his cow and calf costing him an even $100. Frank McGonnigle got his pair at $96, while Lindley Dennis picked up a Jersey at $87. C. E. Hiatt paid $72 for a white face, and Jim Clinton took in a cow at $66 and let Dock Bookout steal the calf from him at $28.75. A good looking black bull enticed Tot Cralnor Into spending $116, and he also went as high as $96 for a red cow while accumulating live Btock. Clayton Conway, George Johnson, T. Huffman, Charles Dennis and L. Wilkinson were among the buyers of cattle. A number of feeders were sold at low ordinary sale figures, cattle being sold at "shaded" prices in various markets of late. Losantsvllle Women Serve Lunch. The Ladies' Aid of the Losantsvllle M. E. church served lunch with credit to their membership and to the great satisfaction of those who dined. It

was, first of all, a good lunch ana there was plenty of it, though when the sale closed it had been disposed of to the last fragment, to those who got hungry for home-made pie, late in the afternoon. There's no telling how much pie some men will eat at a sale, you know, nor at home either, for that matter. The women who were present to serve were: Mrs. Ola Dennis, president; Mrs. Bertha Burroughs, vice president; Mrs. Jane Dowdy. Mrs. Ottle Thompson, Mrs. Ollie Grubbs, Mrs. Cecil Pool. Mrs. Sarah Bookout,

Mrs. Oval Johnson. Mrs. Sallie McCullum. Mrs. Ethel Power, Mrs. Ethel Bird, Mrs. Florence Johnson, and Mrs. Lona Lumpkin. They were all busy counting up and getting ready to pack ,up when The Palladium car started for the city, so we can't tell you how many dollars these good women cleared, but we trust It was "a-plenty." .
