SURELY GOOD PROFIT IN THIS HOG

O. H. McKay Purchases Hog For $35 and Sells It Without Seeing It For SIOO. 0. H. McKay, the laundryman, perhaps holds the Jasper county record for receiving a big profit on a single hog. A few days ago he wrote to a friend in Illinois asking him if he had a Hampshire sow for sale. His friend wrote him that he did not have, but that lie could buy him one at a sale for about $35. Mr. McKay Instructed him to buy at that price. After the hog was purchased it was found that it could not be shipped from the state on account of the order regarding 'the foot and mouth disease. This week Mr. McKay received a letter from the party who purchased the sow for him stating that he had an offer of SIOO for the sow, and he was instructed to sell it. Wednesday a check for SIOO arrived in payment. I " " 1,1 " Pl "" Orlen Grant and wife returned to Hammond last Friday, where he is under the care of a physician.
