truth and veracity and whose
word would not be questioned

formed a Journal reporter that
he had just sold some shoats for
25 cents per pound, The little
perkers averaged about 30
pounds. This is the highest
price that ordinary hogs ever
sold for in Rails county and
probably in the state. This is
one evidence of the prosperity
of farmers and there is no won
der that so many persons want
to buy farms. When pigs sell
for 25 certs per pound and old
hens at rs cents each the farm
