RebeccS Perkins of this town, will regre
to hear that her famous half Durham COW
winch made such n handsome butter record
last season, came M from the pasture last
Friday evening severely lame. From some
unknown cause the ankle of the right fore
leg was btdly inf lmed. and it IS ut first
feared permanent injury had been sus-
'a'neu' or some were apprehensive of
black leg. At this writing the indications
are that the COW will soon be better. For
heoeccas sake. the main support the COW
affords and the opportunity it gives her to
ctre for the same, we hope the COW will
soon be well again, and continue to be the
banner COW of Washington county for
many years to come. Among all their good
Qualities Rebecca and her sister UNDER
stand the faculty of entertaining their
friends. and treating all who call most
hospitality. Their home made beer is of
excellent brewing, and for beverage on
hot sultry day is most refreshing.

the railroad. were badly riddled by light
