Shaffer, of the C. P. A., and County
Agent Kinsey. 1t was composed of
hogs from several farmers, and the
average weight was III pounds. The
shipment was as fine and smooth a
bunch of hogs as was ever assembled
here. Many of them were thorough
breds and these demonstrated the ad-
visibility of turning from scrubs to
thoroughbreds, on account of the
quicker growth and the smoothness
of the animals.
Those bringing in hogs for ship
ment were J. w. Durham, Ivy Avant,
H. A. Crosby, John H. Peurifoy, Lee
Givens, T. R. Strickland.
Other shipments are contemplated
by the C. P. A. The next will be from

Z, little girl brought to this institu-

together with letter from her moth
er, which stated that while doing the
family washing on Monday morning,
bill collector came along and she
took out her money and paid him, re-
ceiving one IS bill and three 81 bills
in change. She had some waste pa
per in her hand, continued the letter,
and thoughtlessly threw the paper
with the money into the fire beneath
the wash pot. When she discovered
her mistake and recovered the pieces,
she found that she had salvaged less
than one-sixth of the bills.
The afternoon mail carried these
pieces of the mutilated bills to Wash
ington, and November Il, letter
was received from the Treasury De-
partment, stating that upon receipt
of an affidavit as to how the money
was destroyed, and as to the charac-
ter of the person making application
for redemption, that the government
would forward SO for the patron who
suffered the loss.
