Much interest was manifested in the
cattle, and they are undoubtedly quite
a feature for the coming sale,

When we left Mr. Townloy's home
farm we were all in a rush, ami In

that there awaited u a luucheon in
charge of the business nvou of the
city of Union, who are noted for their
hospitality. AS my official duty on.
this tour was to see 'hat none of our

which were, to say tho least, appro

before we arrived at Union. Several
short talks were made, Mr. Wright
acting as toiciiaaster. Marion la

his city. M. S Levy, George Benson
and Robert Withycoir.be "warded us
to be prepared to soo the best stock
show Union has ever enjoyed, while
our friend George er.id that though
he was n Hereford uum the Shorthorn

the toastmnster, three of the moat
prominent stockmen at the table were
Fred Holmes, F. L. Meyers and T, J.

stockmen and gave us some interest-
