Kvcilts Ol' Several Ways SniDMiari/.rd iii Washington. Washington. Keb. 28.-Germany's invasion ol' Russia has slowed down. During the last 2 1 hours there have hoon no reports showing that the Teutons were sweeping ahead with the power shown In tho early days of" tho ads ance toward Petrograd and there are indications that the move ment has lost some of its momentum. One explanation of this fact may he lound in an unofficial, hut an illen tica ted dispatch from Petrograd, .which statos that tho German troops have received orders from Berlin to advance no farther. This would seem to indicate that the formal peace terms have boon accepted and a treaty has been signed by the Teu tonic ami Bolshevik! delegates, as tho Germans refused to grant an ar mistice until peace had boen negoti ated. Recover Fighting Spirit. In spite of the German report that operations on the eastern front aro taking their normal course and that another Esthoninn regiment had placed itself under the command of Ibo German staff, it is asserted in Petrograd that the Russian troops have recovered their fighting spirit and that Cossacks as well as mixed (let adi men ts of soldiers are on their way lo the front. Rumania Next, Advices from Bucharest are to the. effect thal the Central Powers have communicated their peace terms to King Ferdinand of Rumania, who lias been granted a short period for consideration. It is officially denied Py i 1K> Human lu, u press bureau in Paris thal King Ferdinand will re linquish his throne at ithe behest of tho anti-war party in his country. Spanish Cabinet Resigns.

Public opinion ju Spain lias be come inflamed by tho sinking re cently of Uve spanish vessels by Ger man or Austrian submarines. Pacing New Attack. Russia ls facing a new attack, this time in the Far East. Japan is known to have sounded the entente allies, especially the United States, ns to the advisability of laking steps to prevent tremendous stores of mu nitions held at Vladivostok and other points along the Siberian railroad from falling into the bunds of the Bolshevik i or tho Germans. Vis count Motono, the Japanese foreign minister, spoke recently on the sub ject, and advices from Paris say that it is believed there that Mo ton o's words were Japan's answer to Gen. Foch's appeal to Japan and the Uni ted States to take steps in Siberia. It is admitted at Washington that the matter had been discussed In of ficial circles, ibm! there ls .much reti cence on the part of men closely iden tified with the administration. No word as to the probable oollcy of the United States has as yet been given out. Raids by Allies. French and British troops have car ried om raiding operations against the enemy. The French operations were centered at Verdun and the dCnglish on each s/ule of the Searpe river. In both eases prisoners were brought back hy the raiders.

Editor Koo wee Courier: I wisli to bring before the readers ol' your ex cellent paper the characteristics of a new breed ol' hogs recently developed ?in this county. Solomon says there is nothing new under Hie sun, hut with due deference to I'ncle Sol., 1 think he is mistaken, for we have right here in Oconee a tangible and ocular demonstration to the contrary. Rev. Mr. Stansell-by the way, a fine young man -while teaching in the upper part of the county, caine across what he considered a very re markable bog. Ile decided to buy her, paying a fancy price. She is a peculiar hog as to form, habits, diet, etc.--in fact, she is made of pecul iarities, She bad the frame of ai 300-pounder, but weighs only fifty , pounds: her head, or proboscis, is two-thirds the length of her body. After keeping her three weeks and starving her into eating nearly a gal lon of corn, Rev. Stansell decided to sell her. She seems to not take to civilized food, whether from patriotism, want ing to save grain for our allies, or not, is not known. Any how she seems to thrive best on wiro grass and hickory nuts. I nm more In clined to think it is from intro cuss edness; that she bas the soul of an old, defunct Kaiser in her. hence re fuses to make meat for us to carry on the war. She has attracted a great deal of attention. Some came with an eye to purchase, and among the latter was John Peay (he will vouch for what I here state.) While peeping through a crack of the stable and asking questions, the sow caught his eye. and, being in one of her playful moods, rushed towards him, snapping lier Jaws like an alligator; and John, believing ''discretion the better part of valor," turned and fled. Whether he stopped on reaching home or not is not known, as he was still running when last heard from. Will Br?cke was the next applicant for the prize. He struck a bargain with the parson-of courso paying a good premium-and being a man of nerve, be grabbed a pitchfork and sallied forth to conquor or die. his mind busy as to bow he would cap ture the sow. He fell upon a novel plan, as the sequel will show. Catch ing her bend turned slightly, he knocked her senseless, and while un idor the influence of this opiate, by using dispatch, got her home and caged bofore she revived, lt being but 400 yards distant. One timorous soul said that people bad better stop going to see her without having their lives insured, but I think there ls no danger, especially when she is asleep. As to feeding her, one need run no risk, as one could stand at a safe [distance and shoot corn into the pen with a shotgun. The originator of this breed is a mountaineer who had nothing else to do hut to fool with hogs. Ile has immortalized himself, and Messrs. Stansell and Br?cke ?ire deserving of scarcely less credit as promoters. lt has been suggested that, if prop erly trained, this breed of bogs could be used to advantage by (len. Persh ing in P rn nco as couriers,, as they arc as quick as lightning (and almost ns. fatal), and would laugh nt wiro en tanglements, as they can go through any hole that will admit their nose. Pro. Stansell says that hog suro got on his nerves, that he now finds them much steadier and rests bettor of nights. The hog is still observing grainless days; she is now put en tirely on substitutes. I had almost forgotten; The name of the breed ls "The Wondei." Sho. I has a pedigree a yard long. A Friend. : United ILY saved one cup of wheat flour or more than 28,000 barrels.

They owned a little farm, on which they made a good living. They had one son, an only child, who they named Bill. When Bill No. 2 carno to be grown-a man 25 years of age-?die married a woman whoso name was Sallie. By this time Bill Baker No. 1 lost his wife by death, and bis health had failed, and he told Bill No. 2 that he would make over tho little plantation to him and his wife Sallie, provided tiley would take care of bini during his life-time. To this they both agreed. So Bill No. I deeded all of his estate to Bill No. and his wife Sallie. Some 18 months or two years after this agree ment was made, this woman, Sallie, told Bill No. 2 that she was "tired of waiting on Iiis daddy, washing his dishes and sweeping after him"; in fact, she said, "we are not able to support bini; thore is tho 'county poor house' over the hill, and ho could be cared for there much bet ter than we can and you must tako him there." Bill well knew when she commanded he had to obey or "entch it," so he hooked up the old (lea-bitten gray to the little wagon, and "over the hill to tho poor house" he landed the poor old man! His vision was dim, his mind a little clouded and his hearing had. Shortly after this Bill Baker No. 1 died and was buried in the potters' field. Bill Baker No. 2vand this woman, Sallie, reared one son-their only child-and they named him "Bill." This was 'Bill No. 3. By the time he was grown he also married, and Bill No. 2 lost his foot at a saw-mill; hence he was not able to make <n liv ing. So Bill No. 3 and his wife had their one-legged father, Bill No. 2, to make over his little property to them, agreeing that they would meet all the wants of tho old man and his wife while they lived. After they had given away all they had to Bill No. 3, he and his wife took the old man and lils wife over the same road and over the samo hill to the county poor house to which Bill No. 2 had carried his father years before, and left them there and went back to their home, and neither Bill No. 3 nor his wife over went back to see them again. And for ten years after this "Bill Baker No. 3" lived, a tragic life, finally died a tragic, death, and went down to his grave, unhonored, un wept, unsung.
