They certainly will have an abundance of “p-p-personal liberty” in our neighbor county.—. Medaryvllle Advertiser. “Uncle” Charley Pullins, who made a fine success with alfalfa at his Barkley township farm, says he won’t be without it even if he does live in town and be has planted an acre Just west of his barn on West South street, along the cemetery sidewalk.
