thought we would givo its readers
few items.
Ike Vanhoosier was here on business
Friday.
DIR. P. c, Graysoa had sad experience
with his late discovered mineral last
week. He says that it killed two dogs
and eight chickens for him, and one
other chicken got some of it and did
considerable coughing, From what |
learned from the doctor it was about
gone, They drank from a trough that
contained some of the mineral Still
more surprising be tells that Hammel
Grapsons cat came to his Office and got
dose of it and 1t killed it as dead as a
maCkerel. His dog likewise got some
from drinking from the trough, bnt 1T
was cured with grease. The doctor now
has his specimens buried in the garden
to prevent nything else from getting
poisoned, and woe unto the dog or cat
or chicken that scratches them up.
A gentleman here was recently re-
Gently repairing gate to keep an old
sow from destroying his corn. While
he was at work the old wind splitter
came along determined to enter the
corn field. The gentleman believing
! the SOW meant mischief hollered in
hostile manner at his unwelcome guest
but she did not heed him but entered
the field through the gate in spite oil
all that he could do His wrath was
then kindled, and seeing that other
means would have to be resorted to to
save his corn, said, "Sir, sir, that old
SOW has got Old Nick in her, sir, and
there will have to be something done
with her sir" So he. informed his
neighbor Of her conduct, and she was
placed in secure pen, and that ended
the trouble.
