A market day will be held in this city Saturday when it is the inten- ion to handle all kinds of produce, livestock and any kind of article which farmers and others wish to have sold, by an auctioneer provid- ed as a medium of exchange between the residents of the city and the farmers of the vicinity. A.T. Wheelock of this city has been secured to act as auctioneer and can be relied upon to get all there is in it for the owners of everything put up for sale. - .. The auction sale will be held on the vacant lot opposite Mayor Pogue’s stable, on the corner of Third street and Irvine avenue. All articles will be listed in the forenoon and should be brought to the place of sale as early as possible so that the’ auction may be started in ample time to finish. The farmers in the vicinity of Bemidji are especially urged to bring any livestock which they may want to sell, or in fact any article which they wish to dispose of. Mayor Pogue also wishes us to state that but $3 of the amount required for expenses were collected, The entire expense was $13. If 'market days are to be kept up this expense must be met by the people. The total expenses of the last market day was but $13, and it is estimated that the expenses for Saturday’s market day will be alike amount. In order that this custom may be kept up citizens of Bemidji should contribute enough to make this amount. Boxes for contribu- tions will be at the three drug stores. Likes Bemidji. G. W.
