There was a big attendance of hog men from many states and they all came to buy. The firat hog sold was bought by an Illinofs man tor $115. Men were here from Illlno{s, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Ar- kansas. About seventy buyers regis- tered at the Fraternal Inn Friday night and Saturday morning.
