BUILT THE WRONG WAY.
why the Quaker's Chester Hog Took No
Prizes In Georgia

Il never shall forget an incident
which occurred at the first fair / ever
attended III Georgia, said a retired
Cincinnati meat packer. ''It was at
Macon, and / think they called it a state
fair. At any rate it was a big thing for
the town in those days. They had some
fine stock ON exhibition, and a PennSyl-
vanian had sent down about 20 OF the
finest looking hogs you ever saw. They
We're mostly Chester Whites, and if /
recollect Alright they We're exhibited by
Thomas Wood, great hog and cattle
fancier of 20 and 80 years ago. He il
was who introduced that famous breed
of hoSs, the Chester White, and he
made a great deal Of money ont Of his
fancy stock. He was a Friend-a Qua
ker, you knew-who used the plain Ian
guaGe and wore a broad brimmed hat
He was a smart old gentleman. honest
and prosperous. He sent his hogs from
state fair to state fair, and they took So
many prizes and blue ribbons that each
hog looked like boy who had spent all
his money making collection of badges
when the Macon judges made their
awards, they gave blue ribbons very lib
orally to the razor backs, but not one of
the fat, sleek Pennsylvania hogs got a
prize. The owner of the exhibit did not
understand it. SO he hunted up one Of
the judges and said in the language If
the Friends:
3" i know thee to be an honest man,
and dOnot question thy fairness in the
award, but to crafty my own curiosity
| would De glad to have thee tell me
why thee gave all the prizes TO the ma
tive stock and what fault thee found in
mine:'
My friend, the committee admired
your hogs greatly, the judge replied.
They are certainly handsome, and
have no doubt that in your section they
are the best breed TO raise, but they are
not suited for this country. They are so
short legged and fat that a niger could
catch them in two minutes. What we
require in hog in the south is legs and
wind. We give our prizes for speed. -

The stove was not very large, and
after johnson had dressed himself for

ARDMORE, FRIDAY, MAR. IS.

In the disposition of the case
Thursday against /. NJ. Billings,
the wifely devotion of true
woman was given a positive en-
phasis. For the past six months
Mr.. Billings has been confined in
the federal Jail at this place unaL.e
to give bond, with none to sympa-
thize or befriend him save his at
tOrneys and the little woman who
had given her pledge to fOrsake all
others and cleave unto him as long
as life should last. During the &
terrible months of Imprisonment
she has daily visited the Jail, speak
ing words of encouragement aEt
affirming her devotion though al
the world should condemn the OBJ
iect of her affection. In the fact
of this devotion to duty as she saw
it, and believing her husband limo
cent of any wrong, who can estl'
mate the JOY of her heart when til,
announcement was made that h,
was free to go with her? The be
ing possessed Of spark o
manhood who would fail t
appreciate the promptings o
such heart and such a nature a
possessed by that woman, is un
worthy the name of man create
