He has purchased one himself, while the other three have already been delivered to Joe King, Math. N. Freund and Peter Miller. The cars are all of the 4-cylinder type and are about the neatest small pars that have come to our notice this spring. The car is built along the same lines as the larger models and'are fully equipped. They also have sufficient power and will, no doubt, become quite popular in this locality. John A. Bugner, a former resident, but now at Alvado, Ohio, writes as follows: "Well, ye certainly had a very cold winter and a few bad bliz­ zards. When you had that first blizzard we had sleet here, but the following Saturday, Jan. 12, we had a bad storm here, too. Auction sales were quite scarce around here this year. I attended but one sale and everything went high. One horse, a 4-year-old, sold for $252.50; one 12- year-old mare brought $205 and one 8-year-old mare, totally blind, was purchased for $169. Cows went as high as $120; brood sows, $81, and 27 sheep at $27 per head. Two weeks ago at a sale near' here sheep brought $36 per head. Plowing has started here. I started today in the sod and plowing is fine. Had some fine weather this week, but don't believe it will stay. One of our rural letter carriers made his first trip with his automobile today.
