NJ. J. Walker, with his family expect soon
to move TO Hickory Grove, where he will
practice his profession. The doctor and his
estimable wife wilt be quito q loss to this
community should they decide to leave it.

Some days ago DR.. Walker procured two
monstrosities in the poultry line from Mr..
Tom Sanders. They appear to be cross
between guinea and a turkey. Although
they neither SPOT rack nor "gobbls," 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 has in-
ported such "outlaudish" creatures.
