CLARKSBURG EGG
Is A WORLD BEATER.

Again Clarksburg has forced
Fairmont to take a back seat.
This time 1t is in the matter
Of which city can produce the
largest hen egg.
Thursday there came report
from the Marion county capital
that I woman of that city had
an egg measuring seven and
three-fOurths inches around the
long end, and six and one
fourth inches around the short
end.
Friday it was learned that the
Fatrmont woman's egg is a very
small one, compared to one laid
by Rhode Island Red hen,
owned by Mrs. Ed R. Davis,
Of 40 Raymond avenue, this
city. Mrs. Davis's egg meas
ures nine inches around the
long end and seven inches
around the short end. Besides
its great size, the Clarksburg
egg Is somewhat OF a freak.
Inside the shell were found two
perfectly formed eggs, one of
them having perfect she'll, as
hard as the outer shell, while
the other egg was composed Of
the yolk and white but had NO
shell. Around both OF the
small eggs was the white of an
egg. and covering II all was
the hard outer shell.
