A man owning a strange freak OF
nature, legged pig, brought the
little animal to this city from Robin
son creek last Monday on his way 10
Cincinnati with it. The little creature,
which is very active and in good
health, gets around wonderfully well
On its fore feet, as the other two Were
not regarded necessary by Mother Ma
ture. If this is an experiment Il has
succeeded wonderfully well because
the pig can squeal right Justify and is
Just the same as any other pig except
that he hasn't as many legs. BIT he's
got big stubborn streak in him to
make up for it, and he is no exception
to Emerson's theory OF Compensation.
His owner claims to have be,i off
cred s65.00 for him, but wants 500. .:

FREIGHT WRECK.

A freight wreck resulting in the de-
struction OF nine cars OF coal and coke
occurred two miles below Pikeville
Wednesday at noon. This makes the
second freight wreck that has occurred
near the station within the limit OF
two weeks, the other having occurred
two miles above Pikeville.
The late disaster took place on the
curve just below the cut at the mouth
Of Cedar creek. The destruction in this
smashup however, was not so great
as the first one. No cause can be found
as yet, unless II be that the strength
OF the tracks was not sufficient TO re-
sist the pull OF the large engine which
was drawing the train. Some OF the
cars went over the embankment on
their wheels and did not lose their
cargo, while others were badly dam
aged. Traffic was delayed for several
hours, and in the case OF passenger
service transfer trains had to be re-
sorted to.

MEETING DEMANDS.

In meeting the demands for expan-
sion and better business facilities Pike
vile is fast building a city to be proud
Of This swift growth is something to
stop for a moment and think about,
especially when II is recalled that APP
proximately 100000 have been spent
within the past eighteen months for
new business houses, residences and
local government buildings, not count
ing either the street paving or thou
sands OF dollars worth Of other smaller
improvements that have been made.
Business men are confident OF the
stability OF the city as n business CEN
ter, and this furnishes one OF many
reasons for the rapid growth OF our
city.
Nobody at home but the boosters,and
they are attending strictly to business.
