ever been raised in Anderson County-at
least, it is the largest we have ever Seen.

long, and will measure nine feet around
The hog has never been weighed, but
every one who has looked at it say it
will weigh 700 pounds or more. Mr..

it will tip the beam at 900 or 1000 pounds,
and we believe it will do it.
