May l0.-Madam rumor has it tina! DR..
NJ. J. Walker, with his family expect soon
to move 10 Hickory Grove, where he will
practice his profession. The doctor and his
estimable wife will be quito loss to this
community should they decide to leave it.
We congratulate the people Of Hickory Grove
upon the acquisition of such people to their
social circle
Some days ago Dr. Walker procured two
monstrosities in the poultry line from Mr..
Tom Sanders. Ttcy appear to be cross
between guinea and turkey. Although
they neither "Tot rack" nor "gobble," yet
both these species are plainly outlined in
these fowls. We need not now be surprised
that so many curiosittes have been produced
among our eggs, since Tom Sanders ha, in
por, ell such "outlaudish" creatures.
