 The AlbanyDecatur Daily inad- vertently started an interesting com paign the other day to find the finest porker killed in the county this faIl and winter. The Daily published 4 story regarding the fine porker killed on the farm of J. J. McCut- cheon, which weighed 535 pounds. Mr. McCutcheon resides in the Lacey Springs neighborhood.
