CLIFTON'S CORNER
Near LeWes)

There is a general slaughter Oi
hogs, and some cattle in this Vicin-
ity. This is the time when farmers
turn a fat hog into pork and salted
meats for use next season.
II is generally believed that the
outbreak of hog cholera came from
truck load of shoats sold last
summer. as those who purchased of
that load have lost most heavily.
Carlton Clifton is home for the
winter season.
Billy Clifton has opened the Clifton
Corner Filling Station for business.
and incidentally talks to all visitors
at the store and station. He has
his corn in the crib and fodder in
stacks.

ting UP a swell defensive battle,
but the apparent slump into
which Wilson has fallen since
the two dresSingS-doWn he took
from Joe McCedon. The latter
has softened up Wilson no little.
Wilson is still an above-the-
average fighter, but he has gone
back since he blew in out of
Florida like tropical hurricane.
However, in my book he gave a
sufficiently fair account OF
himself last night to merit a re-
turn engagement with Furr. If
they were matched over a IL
or 15-round course, the margin
should be sufficient to satisfy a
house full of customers-and
you pick the house.
So Phil Furr is back on the
highway of achievement again,
despite the deriSive cries of
those who labeled him yellow"
when he was nursing an injured
wrist that should have been in
a bandage-at the time his man
ager, unbeknown to him, signed
