noticed in TIE EAGLE ere sew
eral men had been grating their

which he was glad 70 see. He
tells me that last spring he trans
planted tomato vine and wrap
ped I meat skin around the roots
IT il and now this vine has seven
large, fat pigs on it. He says i
Is rather 4 Singular sight u see
these pigs hanging By their tails
and fed by the lie Il tha vine.
\ Now Frank tells ne that he never
tells anything unless he can prove
it by good reputable witnesses.
He tells me 70 notify the public
! that anyone desiring any Of these
tomato seed to confer w;sa him
It once, a. he OILY has a limited
amount.
| Mr.. ". J. T. Malone, o. Paris,
came to town the other day u
place his order for some Of those
highly grated fruit trees that the
Noted Dreamer" mad spoken OF
IN The EAGLE u week or two ago.
This shows you that people are
beginning to take an interest in
their fruit trees. All you have
to do is to make an impression on
them in the way you call their
special attention TO matters.
