How's This? Missouri farmer has a sow that has produced 52
pigs inside of 16

Moving to Pulaski. Last week several more farmers from
Tennessee and West
Virginia moved to Pulaski county and took possession of farms
they had
recently purchased. During the past several weeks there has
been a big
influx of "foreigners" to this county and will make
good citizens. The good
farm land and the splendid schools are attracting these men to
our midst. We
welcome them all and know they will be satisfied.
Monday Morning Fire. Monday morning about 10 o'clock the
fire alarm was
sounded and the "Red Devil" responded to the call, it
being discovered that
fire, possibly caused by defective flue, had gained considerable
headway at
the residence occupied by Bili Johnson, of color, on Clifty
street. The
property belonged to Mary Liz Sandusky, of color. The
building was not in
reach of a fire plug and the chemical tank and a bucket brigade
saved the
adjoining property of Mary Liz Sandusky, the house occupied by
Johnson being
totally destroyed. "Moster" Warren, assisted by
his crew of fire fighters,
did quick work and it was only through the use of the Red Devil
chemical tank
and buckets that the adjoining house was saved.
