OATTLE BARN SALES
There ware about 500 hesd of
cattle sold Prlday at the sales barn
we*t of the Brazos bridge. Thia
waa more than had been in aalea
of recent date, and one feature
that contributed to the larger mim-
bor waa the fact that four loada of
cattle came up from Fort Worth
to be aold here.
One packer buyer wa* III and
could not be here, but other* took
his place, and there waa a steady
demand. Bidding waa spirited, and
the sale waa over by 0:00 o'clock.
Probably the largnr number aold
this time was plainer cattle, and
price* for tinese held steady. As
usual of late, the fat stock were in
the beat demand.
The fine rein* that have come
over Texas wince the laat aale
would aeem to indicate that the
cattle bualneaa will aoon be look-
ing up. And it would not be aur-
prising If the strongest market
next time may be on stocker atuff.

thanks to the Doctor'a and Nurses
who were ao kind to me during my
atay In the hoapltal. Alao to friend*
who aent cards and who vlalted
me, end helped In any other way.
May God blea* all of you.
