terday in the case of Michael Flynn,

Benton county produces lots of
big things which people already
know about, such as big cattle, big
sheep, big horses, big apples,
prunes, plums, strawberries and
other fruit, and now we areable to
show an enormous sample of hen

particular, has been laying double
eggs every day for some time past,
and recently produced what will
probably prove to be triple one.
It measures 7a8 by Sas inches and
weighs 81 ounces. This is about

pass into the hands of new owners
is on; and others that the trust
deed and power to sell is only prep
Grafton for making a deal in case
buyer would turn up. OF course
none of them know.
