Mr. Pollman is the champion sweet potatoe grower this season. He has potatoes now that weigh from li to 2 pounds a piece.

As she was riding along her pony got frightened at something, and jumping sidewise landed Etta on the ground. Etta says she don’t know whether the ground flew up and hit her or she hit the ground.
