One Ear Rabbit Born In Webster Pike Raising
Webster Pike resident Mrs Bessie Kirby visited Portsmouth Ohio last July and returned to Grafton with a white doe rabbit. Grandson James Tracy cares for it and a litter of four was born. Three are pure white with pink eyes while the fourth has a single right ear and a small ear cavity nearly covered in fur. The owner notes the rabbit is healthy and eating. The column also recalls a one-eared cat of St John Street old memories and tucks in a Christmas post office rush anecdote before noting a Charleston store ad offering leftover Christmas trees for 15 cents and a Chicago tax issue over a home brewery with a $250 fine.
