A Wonderful Story OF Twins.

The Blue Ridge IN CO BlaIe says:
The wife Of Joseph Whisenhunt, OF
Burke county, gave birth to twins
tho last OF the year-one was born
about ten minutes before II o'clock
and the other about ten minutes af-
- So one was born on Friday and
the other on Saturday, one in 1915
and the other in 1876. The birthday
is not the same yet they are twins.
We doubt il ever such thing oc-
cured before in the history OF the
world. Another notable circum-
stance is that one was boy and the
other a girl; the boy was born in the
old year and the girl in this year
leap year. If the boy should prove
gifted writer and amuse the reading
world with a story after the style OF
"Tristram Shandy," the opening
chapter would be peculiarly inter-
estiRg.

FARM WORK FOR MARCH.

The public school should be visited
occasionally that both teacher and pu-
pill may he encouraged.
No ponds of water should be permit
ted To stand i'm low spots on winter
grain, but should he removed 10y sur
face drains
All stock should be kept ia a thriving
condition during this month. as it is
very bad policy to permit any animal
to fall off or run down in flesh at this
season of the year.
Fire wood should BIZ cut and ricked
up, under shed if possible, for the
next Years consumption. That which
is intended for the stove should be re-
duced to the proper size at once.
All seeds needed for the next years
crop if not already on hand should be
ordered at once. Do not wait till plant
ing time TO do this, as there is general
ly such a rush then that delay is almost
certain.
Cows that are to ''come in" during
the spring should have good shelter and
Il liberal keep. A good feed of roots,
meal or bran mash should be given at
least once u day. They want not only
good, warm quarters of nights and
stormy days but sGOuld he provided

The Rebel Flags.

The Shreveport, Ga) Times says:
During our civil war the several
seeded States used their several
flags. In March, 1861, the Confeder-
ate Congress adopted the SO called
stars and bars composed of three
horizontal bars OF equal width, the
middle one white, the others red,
with blue union continuing nine
white stars arranged in circle. The
resemblance, of this to the - Stars and
Stripes led 10 confusion and mis-
takes in the field. and in September,
1861, battle flag was adopted, red
field charged with blue saltier, with
IA narrow border of white, on which
were displayed thirteen white stars.
In 1868 the Stars and Bars ;. were
su planted by flag with IA white
field, having the battle flag for "a
union The flag of 1868 WIS found
deficient in service, it being Liable TO
be taken FOR dag of truce; and on
February 4, 1865, the outer half OF
the field beyond the union was COW
cred with Il vertical red bar. This
was the last flag Of the Confederacy."

the following feryid and eloquent
words:

FENCES DISAPPEARING.

Mr.. 5. f. Todd stated 1T the Far
mer'S Club Ut the American Institute
lately. that the time once was when IA
good farmer WAS designated 10y his fem
ces rather than his crops. If his fences
were ''staked and ridered,'' and were
made horse high, bull strong and pig
tight the proprietor was denominated
an excellent farmer. But now all over
the country the best farmers are pull
ing down their fences. Cattle are kert
in stables and pens, and It was thought
tn be better economy To NOW grass aud
feed them than tn allow them tn roam
at large. He believed that the day
would come when there would be no
fences on farms. except around barn.
yards and pens, To keepthe cattle with
i'm proper bounds. Nowadays the far
mer who keeps no fences at all, but who
feeds all his stock in yards or stables,
is said to be better farmer than he
who depends -on fences Ia restrain his
live stock while they are grazing.
