Auction Salo Extraordinary.
The ansa interesting event of the week
'about town has been the auction sale at
the residence of the late Mia Reynett,
owner Victona and St. Druid's streets.
This was no ordinary auction sale. The
late Miss Reynett, who died on June 34th
last. was worth $25,000, and although site
lived all alone and had nobody to care
for she was in the habit for
many years of making large pur-
chases of all kinds of goods at the
local stores, and also sometimes at auc-
tion sales. These goods were stored up
in her beg house, where after. her death
scores and scores of panels were found
that had never been opined; in fact, the
,scums were1so full that it las difficult to
rhake orae'$ way about IS the Vim -
There was enough graniteware and such
goads to stock a hardware store ;
enough hosiery, drew goods, wo-
men's, mast's and children's wear
and other drygoods, with boots
and shoes, furniture, etc., etc.. to start a
small departmental Were in business.
Tom Gundry was the auctioneer. and he
had three busy days of it. The sale
commenced Friday afternoon and con-
tinued in the evening, and was resumed
Saturday morning and continued all day
and in the evening. When daylight
waned the auctioneer's voice had pretty
nearly gone,' tan. but he was in good
shape again by Monday morning and the
tale was concluded shortty before el
o'clock. There were great crowds pres-
ent
reyent all along, bidding was brisk. and the
goods were sold in rapid succession and at
good prices. The sales totalled about
132.500. .
