Horses and Mules Shipped Out In Local Trade
Twenty cars of horses and mules have been moved locally over the past year by Claude Sanders who arrived from Orange county. In 1934 he bought the Gleason property northeast of Lorderurg. Thirteen cars were for himself and seven for others with three of the seven destined for Cuba for the Cuban army.
