The falmters have butchered soic of their line hogs and we trust that this little Warm. spell will not cause them to lose their Imeat. We feel satisfied after tiwo or three nights of cold weather, with plenty of salt it will be safe. We are glad to see the boys coming homne to be with their loved ones once iore. We have so much to le thank fiul for and we are satisfled that after Woodrow Wilson returns from "u rope, tle United States, with other nations, will enjoy an everlasting peace by his hoaving gone 'abroad, so God jbless Woodrow Wilson, the grandest man that ever lived or ,will ever live. We pray that be may soon accomplish his work in eriope and return to his na tive heath. irs. 1liza Fuller has been Very sick but we are glad to say that she is on tile road to recovery .

We think that Mr..'Mar tin intends to raise hogs 1(and a few cows as a side line. lie sold his best .pigs for $12.060 each at six weeks old. The government tmas don a great thing when they got the people of the state interested in the hog business. Joe llolmes sold his Diuroc pigs for $1-15.00 each. 'cverywhere you go you can see pigs for sale. Your. correspondent Visited Union last week, and we nwant to mention one thing that was worth our special no tiee. A friend of ours said to us, "I want to carry you all around to the hotel that in run by Mr. Mitchell and show you some hogs that you never have seen on your state fair grounds." Our-. r'eply was that we doubted that, but we went and we want. to say we never in all our lives saw sich hogs. IT.s at sIx veeks old were much Ilarg qr 11 we ever had (Ile pleasire of lookin at.
