Willis, " ho was an eye witness to the oc-
curIence. A very large SOW was struck
by the engine, one or more wheels passing
over the animal literally seveing her in
TWAIN. The train was Stacking up for
the station at Gainesville when the Incl
dent occurred and gave our informant
and others an opportunity of seeing lot
of lively little pigs scampering about that
were not in view before the mother swine
came to her death. AS strange as this

the room. He promises cule for 20
Don't have any thing to do with BIN. lie
will take your money ant you may
whistle for your cure. Don't trust any

claiming to have some means of Curing
that your family physician knows moth
ing about. Every such pre- ender is
fraud.
