miss Lucy" the pet goose which
belonged to the late Mr.. Charley
Sullenger and about which The Re-
publican printed an article last
spring, is absolutely lost since the
death of its master. This novel pet
was very devoted to Mr.. Sullenger
before his death and unless he sent
1t back, would follow him to the
business part Of town and into the
stores, but forced to stay at home
the faithful fowl would always meet
its idol upon his return in the after
noon. During his last illness he
would call to the goose from his bed
and 1t would come running, qauck-
ing all the while. Now that its idol
is gone "Miss Lucy" is very lonely
and seems respondent. She search
es the place daily for her master.
A strange tale of wandering pig
was told to us yesterday by Mr.. Geo.
Jones of near Hartford. The pig
in question belongs to Mr.. Hobart
Baughn, who lives few miles above
town and on the other side of Rough
river. 1t became dissatisfied with its
location last Thursday night and
broke out of its pen, wandered down
to the river and probably having
heard of great country and riches on
the other side, decided to set out and
seek fortune over here. He plunged
into the icy waters and began his
long journey. Next heard of the
wanderer he was a prisoner on the
farm of Mr.. Henry Pirtle. People of
that section are wondering how the
pig made the crossing for It was
necessary for him to swim through
fifty yards of back water besides
lighting Rough river with its four
mile current. The pig is only 2 weeks
old and didn't weigh over 10 pounds.
Can you beat It? This little pork was
raised by Mr.. William Lake, Route
s, which probably accounts for its
daring spirit.
A distinguished visitor to Hart
ford last Friday was Col. Murray,
OF Hardinsburg. While here the Col
onel was in the Republican Office and
we got him started on some Civil
War stories. Here's one that he gave
us. For some time Col. Murray's
regiment was stationed at Hopkins
VILE and during that time prisoner
was taken and condemned to be shot
