Hanging Grove

C. C. Randle attended Bert Josserand’s sale, near Seafield, Wednesday. i Mrs. C. A. Lefler and daughters, yera, Edna and Francis, went to Rensselaer Thursday to do some shopping. Ja§. Downs is moving on a farm north.- of Rensselaer. He has lived during the past seven on the Lutz farm. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Greenlee took their 5-year-old son, Willie, to Rensselaer Thursday to have a few stitches taken in his chin, as a result of coming in contact with the back of a chair with which the child had been playing. It was a real severe bump for the little fellow, but nothing serious. There was a slight mistake in Friday’s issue, when it stated that Jas. Lefler would move up to Wisconsin and take charge of Mary E Lowe’s farm there, when in place, Mr. Lefler owns 400 acres of fine timber land there himself which he intends

to oversee and have some of the timber made into lumber. Mr. Lefler was well pleased with the result of his sale and thought he got the worth of his property as a whole. One or two articles of machinery that were practically good as new, went a little under value; however, that is pretty generally the case. James Lefler had a very nice day for his big sale and quite a large jrowd attended. The bidding was quite spirited all the way through the sale, and everything was sold by a few minutes past three. It was the general sentiment also that Mr. Lefler had the fattest and best looking bunch! of horses that haVe been put up at public sale here for some time. One coming two-year old half jersey heifer with calf by side, brought $61.50, and would have been cheap at $75 to anyone wanting a good milk and butter cow. Col. Phillips said it was tiie nicest animal of the cow specie he ever sold in Jasper county. Don’t bake bread Christmas week. Buy it at Schmitter’s.
