EGGS FORTY-ONE CENTS.

The local dealers are paying 41c for eggs. This is a very high price for hen fruit, and is due to a fight which is being waged here. This is a good thing for those who have eggs to sell, but it hits the fellow who has to buy them pretty hard. With meat and eggs both skyward, the cost of'living is pretty high.
