HI. G. Owen. Of Rural Westmin-
Stcr, invites us to come down and
get real good sausage dinner" We
would like to take advantage OF his
kind invitation, but we are so busy
trying to make enough money to keep
up with the high cost OF living that
we haven't even time to go out and
get good square free meal. Mr..
Owen says that he lives near to j. r.
Bryant and Sam Grant, and that he
has just killed pig" that netted
527 pounds. Somebody down in tho
-Bryant-Grant section has got
the right idea about hog raising, and
the community is profiting by it,

section, last week left at The Courier
office sample of his long horn tur-
nipS. and they are unusually fine. One
OF the two samples left measured IA
| inches in length and weighed 3A
pounds, the other was l inches in
I length and weighed ~ pounds. In
spite Of their great size these turnips
| are as brittle and sweet as the ordi-
nary small turnip. We have never
seen finer. Mr.. Hardie had nine rows
