"A. B. Suttlefield brought six pota-
toes to the postoffce to be weighed,
as they were big ones. They weigh
ed 7 lbs. OF. Well, that's good,
but we believe it can be beaten right
in York Trot 'em out, neighbors.

Ned Alexander and wife Of Lafay-
cite attended the dance at the town
hall Saturday evening and danced SO
long and hard that they could not
return home until they had secured
some rest. So Gail opened his big
heart and the front door and took
them in. Emma, you are getting
old. a5N" .'
|iNiIt9 Is well known that Mallet Creek
lis not much given to Dragging, but
we believe we have case on our
hands now that will stand a little
Of it. Mrs. L. R. Kindall of our
town has flock of good laying hens,
nine Buff Leghorns and one Barred
Rock, all of last years hatch. Of
course, the Leghorns lay pure white
shelled egg, while the Rock hers lay
a brown shelled one. Now a few
days ago Mrs. Kindall went out to
the coop to feed the hens quite early,
and finding the Rock hen on her nest
scared her off that she might eat
with the rest, and found she had al
ready laid an egg. This she brought
to the house, and late the same eve
ming she went to feed the hens their
supper ard low, the old Rock hen
was on her nest again. Thinking she
was getting broody, Mrs. Kindall
again scared her off the nest, only to
find another egg in the-nest. Two
eggs a day and no chance Of being
mistaken. Why two eggs day, ard
365 days in year, would mean, at
the prevailing price, over $50 yearly
from this great hen. Now why should
int York brag of having the greatest
layer in the county? But if any one
in other townships in the county has
a hen that lays three or even two
ard one-half eggs day we will give
lup. Until then we claim to have the
Johnny Kilbane hen of Medina coun
ty. How about it Lafayette? We hav'
heard so many fish stories and fishe.
stories from your town we shoult
= think you might stir up a hen tina
could beat the York hen.

the whole neighborhood to enquir
