Foxfield Farm Implements & Stable

Run by Richard and Dora Slate, both in their mid–fifties, Foxfield Implements carries a complete line of tools, plows, harnesses, seed, fertilizer, etc. While not a thriving business, Foxfield’s farming community keeps the enterprise going.   There is a stable behind the store, and a horse rents for a dollar a day. For two dollars a day one can obtain a horse and wagon with seating for four or more.   Richard Slate serves as Foxfield’s Town Constable, though his duties are few. On the rare occasion Foxfield actually needs real law enforcement the State Police are called. Richard’s duties are usually limited to lecturing a delinquent youngster when some ill–advised prank gets out of hand.   Richard’s wife, Dora, is the Town Coroner. Not medically trained, her responsibilities are little more than signing death certificates for townsfolk who die of natural causes or the occasional accident. Anything more serious warrants a phone call to the county medical examiner.   Richard sits on the town council. Despite the business it brings his store, he is opposed to the timber leases, believing that they will eventually leave the area barren and devastated.
