Pig feast over Twenty Five Years of Matrimony
A humorous exchange recalls a Henry county farmer and his wife planning a feast for their twenty five years of marriage on February 25. The farmer balks at killing the pig, noting the animal’s innocence in past events. The quip contrasts with a Kansas boy’s short composition about all days of the week. Also appears an owner’s rental notice for Wilson Farm near Troy Missouri.
