For Sale— A Good Family Horse.

This notice appeared in a late issue of the Hawkinsville (Ga.) Dispatch: “We have a good, gentle family horse that we are anxious to exchange for a good ‘possum’ dog, or a reasonable amount of fish bait. There is positively nothing wrong with the horse but his voracious appetite. We have had,him with us now aboilt two weeks, and he has eaten up three loads of cypress shingles, two lotgates, licked the bottom out of a cast-iron ’su jar kettle and commenced on the gable end of our residence, and the fact is we have just got to swap, sell or kill, or be with out a house or home."
