, was among the poorest towns in the
State. Now it is one Of the best.

Sam O'Hara snumerous lola friends

There was a wild rumpus on east
Madison recently p farmer drove up
with "a wagon loaded with twelve pigs.
Somebody bought one and then the
fun began. He sold half dozen at
81 80 each and men were visible going
every direction with a kicking, squeal-
ing pigs wriggling under their arms.
w. E. Robinson bought two and it
was sight to see him holding the
porker in his lap, tying its feet to-
gether.
Another report of loss occasioned
a farmer by reason of careless and
unlicensed hunting on his premises
comes from west of the river. John
Smith found one of the horses in his
pasture shot in the foot and seriously
crippled. He knew there were hunters
in his field but was unable to distin-
guish them, so he can notidentify them.
Hunting on mans premises without
permission is a misdemeanor and all
that saves the parties 10 their failing
TO be recognized.
