cmDarKing in me easy ana reeiiui occupation of running a meat market in Lewisburg, H. C. Roush notified his friends that he was about to hold a general farm sale. Mr, Roush lived 2V& miles west of

lewisburg, and his sale took place oni . t 1 n-i . i . ,nil.eui

a. m., and a crowd of liberal bidders was on hand to take home the goods Seventy head of hogs, 17 of cattle and five, horses comprised the live stock, ell of which sold at better than "going prices" at recent farm sales. This also, applies to his sale of implements,

as the figures will show. Cattle Bring Good Prices. 1 There were six milch cows in the sale and eleven head of young stock. The pick of the cows, a good- roan Shorthorn, topped the sale at $141, and was taken home by Thomas Sullivan, a lover of good milk. Irvin Baker took a lingering look at a black cow and decided that she was worth at least $88. and to this Ira Buhrman. the auctioneer, agreed. Alva Good was also after a milker and picked a winner at $77, and then and there George Pepper decided to pick up a Jersey, even if she .cost him $84, which she did, another fellow wanting her $83 worth. Ora Oler paid $59 for a Red Polled heifer, while Wilbur Glander invested $94.50 in three small steers. Two Teams Sell for $1,105 Mr. Roush was proud of his horses, two . teams of which brought $1,105. The sorrels weighed over 3,500 pounds and brought $515, while a pair of four-year-olds sold at $590. Ralph Herman bought the sorrels and George Horine the top priced pair. Billy McClure paid $110 for a gray mare. Clarence Haller, the incoming tenant on the fCessler farm, took the 500 bushels of corn in crib at 69 cents per bushel. He also picked up a few other offerings which, will come handy in his new home. - Hogs brought better than" current

market prices, two sows and a gilt! costing Glen Kirtland $105, and he

also took a pen of 16 shoats at $15 each. Implements Well Cared For. Needless to say that implements which have been well cared for always bring the best prices, and the Roush sale proved it. Lon Studebaker bid $141 for the spreader; Eldon Gruber got tne grain drill for $145; Wesley Blackaid $75 for a corn binder, while John Gauch captured the grain binder at $131. Mr. Gauch also secured the wagon, complete, at $95, and a mower for $49. This was an all-day sale, but a clearance was made by Auctioneer Buhrman in raid-afternoon. The display of implements, harness and incidentals was quite large and found ready sale, there being competition for everything on offer. Wilbur Glander and Eldon Gruber were the sale clerks, the latter making the settlements. Mr. Gruber gives the total as $4,420, and declares it to have been the be?t sale over his way for several weeks.

Irish Truce Prospects Brighter After Confernece LONDON, Dec 9. Prospects of an Irish truce which last .night were generally, regarded as having receded almost out of sight, have" been .revived, according to a late edition of the Daily Mail, as a result of a private Interview between. Monsignor Patrick Joseph. Clune, Bishop of Perth, and Premier Lloyd George yesterday. The archbishop, the newspaper declares conveyed to Mr. Lloyd George what, in effect was a message from Michael Collins, commander of the Sinn Fein army. The Daily Mail quotes the premier as saying: "It may definitely be stated that prospects for a settlement are much brighter than they appear on the surface." Similar Information is printed by the London Times.

HARRIS-HANAGAN SALE The James P. Harris and Gaar Hanagan sale, held on the Harris farm, 4 miles northwest of Centerville, on Tuesday, netted $2,820. The feature of the sale was 500 bushels of corn, vnA the price paid for about 200 bales of tine oat straw, which sold up to 65 cents per bale. The corn brought 78 cents, a good price in view of market conditions, and considerably higher than recent sale figures. Six tons of clover in the mow averaged $14.50 per ton. The sale was cried by Conniff and Weddle; Thomas Ahl kept the sale sheets and Joseph Blose made the settlements. Of the five head of cattle the top cow brought $100 and the bunch of soats averaged $13.50 per head. We understand that Mr. Hanagan is to go to California, and may decide to locate under sunnier winter skies.
