Bear
The Armstrong brothers and their dogs were over from Staunton last week and joined the Sheets, Galfords, Taylors and others in the Dunmore and Green Bank area in a big bear hunt.  The group got three bears, each weighing around 150 pounds. Those killing bears were Ray Corbett, Everette Dilley, Jr. and Warren Sheets.
 
Record
Harvey Buzzard, of Stony Bottom, has some pullets that are really out to break some egg records.  He brought in four eggs that totaled 21 ounces, three weighing 5 ounces and one weighing 6.  The largest eggs was 4 ½ inches long, measuring 9 ½ inches around the long way and 6 ½ inches around the middle.  They are white chicken – he did not know the name – and he had gotten them at the Southern States store.
