'TWAS A LARGE: EGG
Charlie Johnson, son of Mr. W. L.
Johnson, brought an egg into The
News -Record office • the other day
which, as -far as we are aware, takes
the cake, caps the climax and knocks
the spots of anything exhibited thus
far. It was weighed upon. Sheppard
and Co's scales and weighed exactly
six ounces and when it was broken 1'
was found that a well -formed -egg of
a large size, with perfect shell, was
inside, besides which was another
full-sized yoke, with plenty of white
to make a large sized egg. The
.whole would have made a custard,
omelet or enough scrambled or•fried
egg for a hungry man's meal, We
do not know just what Charlie did
with the egg,,bo may have. had one
egg' boiled and the rest fried, just by
way of variety.
The egg was laid by a Rock her
but we gather she doesn't lay one of
these double•barreled eggs every day.
