Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 131, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 December 1909 — Poultry Thieves Make Raid On Amil Johnson’s Hennery. [ARTICLE]

Poultry Thieves Make Raid On Amil Johnson’s Hennery.

About a month ago poultry thieves visited the Frank Donnelly farm where Amil Johnson lives and stole a number of chickens and Tuesday night of this week thieves again stole three turkeys and several chickens. About the meanest thief in the world is the chicken thief. The women are largely the poultry raisers and they toil patiently through the setting and brooding periods and plan the sale of the product with a view to the purchase of some needed things for the home. And then to have their plans blasted by some contemptible sneak thief is mighty disappointing to say the least. A person is justified in loading the shotgun with regulation shells for the hen house robber.

By gosh! I am into it too for this Xmas business with a fine line of candy, no cheap stuff, it’s all made out of real sugar and chocolate. Oh, my, how fine and good it smells and tastes. On the other side of the roenr we have cakes, cookies, fried cakes, buns, bread, and, and, oh, everything that can be made out of real high priced flour. Come around the corner and see, weep and buy. GEO. FATE, The Fat Dinner Man and Baker Man on the side. For ■ the beßt hard coal try our’*. All sizes in stock.
