Monday afternoon, November 7, a little girl brought to this institu. j tion a few crisp pieces of paper money ! together with a letter from her moth- j er, which stated that while doing the family washing on Monday morning, a bill collector came along and she; took out her money and paid him, receiving one $5 bill and three $2 bills in change. She had some waste paper in her hand, continued the letter, i 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 j man one-sixtn 01 me Dins. The afternoon mail carried these pieces of the mutilated bills to Washington, and November II, a letter was received from the Treasury Department, stating that upon receipt of an affidavit as to how the money was destroyed, and as to the character of the person making application for redemption, that the government would forward $8 for the patron who suffered the loss. the combined efforts of President Shaffer, of the C. P. A., and County Agent Kinsey. It was composed of hogs from several farmers, and the average weight was 171 pounds. The shipment was as fine and smooth a bunch of hogs as was ever assembled here. Many of them were thoroughbreds and these demonstrated the advisability of turning from scrubs to thoroughbreds, on account of the quicker growth and the smoothness of the animals. Those bringing in hogs for shipment 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.
