Rensselaer Democrat, Volume 1, Number 7, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 May 1898 — Wheat and Hogs Galore. [ARTICLE]

Wheat and Hogs Galore.

The Citizen has big money to wager that Carroll county has a farmer who has more wheat and more hogs than any other farmer in the state. He has to our certain knowledge a six vears’ growth and accumulation on hand. He is a good fellow and a good farmer, and why he allows this valuable, and to some extent perishable, property to accumulate on his hands we do not know. But that it has accumulated there can be no mistake, for each year he has told us that he would pay his subscription when he sold his wheat, and again when he sold his hogs, and he is still in arrears. —Carroll County Citizen.
