The -burning of Mr. Stowers'
Unrest house ami several thousand
chickens is a real' loss, and every
one has real sympathy for Mr.
Stowers. As for the real estate men
buying the Or. Stokes farm, here is
hoping the neM uwner will till the
houses with good birds, and that Or.
Stokes will buy another place more
suitable to his time and business.
He is on to the poultry game and
we sure would hate to think, of him
dropping out at this Stage of our
; development.
