MILLEDGEvILLE Union Recorder
How long can gopher live without
air, light or food +? Prof. w. E.
Reynolds has a gopher which he
brought to this city four years ago.
Last August or September while
the gopher was burrowed in the
ground heavy rain came up, and
washed the soil over him so deep
that he could not get out. The
professor thought his pet would
never turn up again. But the heavy
rain OF the 9th released the gopher
and he came out after having been
buried about a year. Now, if Prof.
Reynolds will only tell the people
how they may live like his gopher
it will be an unfailing remedy for
hard times and save much worry
over the grave financial questions.
