Frcai, Potato.

MIR. w. l.. Reid was in the city sew
eral days ago with another one OF
those freak products of the farm, a
sweet potato this time. This potato
was not out of the ordinary size, shape
color or taste, but had formed a kind
of cooperation with a strand of Bcr-
muda grass. In some way or other,
the grass had bored itself right
through the potato and protruded on
the other side, thus adding one moro
link of sweet potato phenomina this
year. This was a very unusual freak
OF nature. BY the way, nobody has
brought to this Office yet the largest
potato raised in the county this year.
