HOG-KILLING TIME IN HARNETT I» HAPPY SEASON That hogs grow to their fullest maturity in Harnett county is evi denced by the • fact that right now ‘there are being staughtered some of the finest types, of porkers. This Is not an exceptional year, in the hdg raising Industry in this county—-ft i.a juMt one of ithe ordinary seasons common as the sevens that come and |50 with the years. And so the Ihogs being turned into ham's and bacon now are not unicommon hogs —for Harnett. This county is well known for its fiino hogs. Bepioris from the various sections of the county indicate that- meat will he plentiful this wiuiter. Not many surgeons, perhaps, would be willing to undertake a case like it, but Doc Wyatt did. The little fowl was “blood«d stock” and the leg band denoting . pedigreed ancestry was still being proudly worn. The lady was evidently pi^ut^ of the badge, too, and she let. the bird >wesr it. But there’s where trouble came. The canary in some manner al lowed Us leg whereon the badge was worn to get daught In the wires of the cage and in the flutter hhe tiny leg was 'broken. Doc Wyatt was called in. In his obliging way he undentook the case. with his cunto mary smile. Doc bandaged the bird’s leg much in the same way he band ages human legs when they get bro ken. The canary quit singing for a while. Probably pain * drove away the spirit of song. Nobody knows, except 'the canary. But it wasn’t for long. After e .few .days the sweet little notes were heard again. The 'bandage was lifted and lo, there was ^the little leg grown bkek to its for mer shape and condition. There’s much song to be beard from -the canary now. Probably a hymn or two may carry notes of praise for Doe. 'But nobody herea bouts understands canaries like Doc. Maybe he knows how the bird feels and what he is singing about.
