George L. Fisher of North Union street saw in the Tribune of Monday that W. O. Petrea had reported a sweet potato weighing 5 pounds. Now that was going some, but Mr. Fisher seemed to think that Mr. Petrea’s potatoes were mere babies, as evidenced by the fact that he brought to the office today a potato that weighed 7 pounds, accompanied by a twin brother that tipped the scales at 6 ½ pounds.
