A little over one year ago Mrs. Brown, living near Newhope, Brown County, Ohio, gave birth to three children - two girls and one boy. These children are all alive now, and are sprightly, healthy children. Two weeks ago from this time (May 16) Mrs. Turner, not to be outdone by her neighbor, gave birth to three bouncing boys - all of whom are living, sound and healthy. The strange part of the matter is, both these women live within two miles of each other, which seems to suggest the idea of a sort of family strife in that neighborhood. These children weighed, soon after birth 7 1/2 pounds each - 21 1/2 pounds for the three.
