Russell Sentinel: It is interesting
to note the heavy shipments of hogs
from all parts Of the state, even from
the remote and newly settled portions.
Hog raising is and will be very profit
able and the numerous cars and train
loads of hogs hat are shipped out,

money TO the farmers throughout the
state, money that is certain in the

it comes to raising hogs. Hence they
are getting a goodly share of this hog

"A clerk in one of the great jewelry
stores on Fifth avenue. in New York
city, exhibited to Il rich and weary
customer Il lady's handbag. five inches
square. made Of platinum and fairly
well covered on one side only with
diamonds. The price was $4,000. The
fact that one side only was covered
with diamonds troubled the customer.

There is nothing in the laws OF
