Odd Holiday Tale Of Four Southbound Workers And Farm Auction
A fragmentary historical item recounts a group of four young men who traveled south for about thirty days, returning by Thursday evening after ten and a half days out. They spent nine and a half days in Florida, worked one and a half to two days picking oranges for three dollars a day, handling fruit with a ritual involving a sack and a thirty foot ladder. Their hands were torn by thorns, they lacked Witch dazel Cream, visited Taln Beach, debated returning to respectable society, and eventually hid their dress suits for Christmas. A humorous claim ties their crossing of the Ohio River to Plymouth Rock, though unproven. The piece then shifts to an auction notice listing livestock, farm implements, and equipment to be sold at 10:00 a.m. on 12 HEAD OF HORSES AND MULES, 44 HEAD OF CATTLE, 30 HEAD OF HOGS, and extensive farm implements with terms. Names include Thos B Reed and auctioneers. The notice signals a substantial rural sale from a farm near Temington and Goodland regions, with multiple property details and sale conditions. The overall tone blends local humorous vignette with a practical auction listing.
