Mrs. B.J. Hurst of Leatherman doesn’t think much of the small shotes weighing around 400 pounds that people have been writing to the Press about. In fact she is of the opinion that a man doesn’t know how to raise a reasonably sized hog.
She has just killed one that weighed 503 pounds dressed, and has another to kill that she will probably have to bring to Franklin to be weighed, there being no scales in her vicinity that will register more than 600 pounds.
