Mr.. P. A. Bringle. who lives on
the Mason road two and half miles
south of Covington, tells us that
someone Borrowed" two and a half
bushels of Irish potatoes from an out
house on his place lately. At pres
ent prices that amount Of potatoes
foots up a goodly sum and Mr.
Bringle would appreciate the return
of the "spuds."
As an evidence of the fact that
goods can be purchased cheaper in
our town than in the cities, we cite
the fact that lady living in Mem

from various furniture stores in Mem
phis. She saved a neat sum on the
deal, too.
