Orphan Pig at Algerita School Chronicle 1920
An account titled Fatty the school girl pig describes four months at Algerita school from Feb to June 1920. The narrative traces daily care including milk, corn, and oats from named friends such as Stella Mae and John Clarke, ending with a weigh‑in at 55 pounds and a plea to fund education. A political notice by N T Stubbs for re election as judge of the 33rd district Texas follows, urging voters to consider his record and inviting scrutiny of his opponent J A McLean. Also brief notices include a lost gold signet ring and a for sale ad for a four room house.
