Big Hogs VS. Little Ones.

Big fat hogs are not the most
tooth-some, according to the Will
mington IN. CO. Messenger. 1t is
we'll understood by old intelligent
farmers in North Carolina and Yir-
ginia that the best bacon ever eaten
is that produced from native hogs,
says the Messenger. The "old raz-
or back" fellows, put in the pen and
properly fattened according to capSc-
lty, have been for century the de-
light of epicures and of the finest
flavor. There Is really no compari-
son between the best cured North
Carolina hams of 'the old school"
made from old native stock, and any
other (the Virginia hams Of the same
kind are equally goOG) and any from
the round, fat hogs Of the West or
South. X or table purposes the small
hogs of the old breed are incompara-
Bile. 1t is probably cheaper and bet
ter to the raiser to give his attention
to making hogs to weigh 175 to 225
pounds than to raise the pet breeds
of pet sizes--4OO to 600 or more
pounds. We never ate piece of an
elephant, but we opine piece from
one would be more relishable than a
slice from 900 or 800 pound por-
ker.

lngged him home. A allon and a
half of qlcohol was procured and
his snakeship introduced to it with
sncb result that after a vigorous con-
fict Mr.. Rather succumbed, although
in fighting attitude, which he still
preserves.

to an advertisement in another part of our
paper, of The N. G. Hamilton Pub. Co., of
Cleveland, Ohio, asking for men and women
to sell the life of Mckinley, one of the best
selling books now before the American pub
lie, and the only authentic life, being en-
dorsed by Mckinley himself and his most
intimate friends. The Life of VIM. Nc
Kinley," republican candidate for president
by Robert p. Porter, is story full of in
spiration;the life history of great American,
who has won success at the bar and in the
field of politics. The work contains full
life OF VIM. Mckinley and of Carrot A.
Hobart, together with extracts from many
speeches delivered in the House of Repre-
sentatives and in campaigns. 1t ought to
be in every American home.

hoped that a new and better factory will
soon take the place of the old. We cannot
afford to do otherwise, and now that it is
destroyed the benefit of it is more appre-
ciated. The paying out of nearly four hun
dred dollars weekly, of money from abroad
was an immense help to the business pros
perity of the place. We are pleased to
state that our city stands ready to aid in
every way possible, and her citizens will
