To be possessed of an animal, in
the shape of a COW belonging to
Mrs. Rosa Runde, a widow residing
between Falrplay and Louisburg,
is indeed valuable asset to ones
belongings.
This cow is not ordinary one, and
apparently does not believe in race
suicide, as was evidenced Sunday
when it gave birth to triplet of
calves, all Of which are much alive.
Much speculation has been advance
ed as to the cause of so unusual an
event, as the occurrence is so rare
even the oldest inhabltant had not
seen or heard of the like. Those
who have seen the calves say they
are of normal growth and will un-
doubtedly live.
Mrs. Runde proposes keeping the
'tripletsH as curiosity.
