A.S. Allen's Smoke House Missing Hams, Middlings, Jan. 13, 1921

On Wednesday last night of last week some thief broke into Mr. A.S. Allen’s smoke house and took therefrom several hams and middlings. Put a good set-gun in your smoke house and that will put an end to this kind of business. (From The Roanoke News, Weldon, N.C., Jan. 13, 1921, John W. Sledge, editor and proprietor)
