hopper stated in the Press and banner
Of last week, that Mrs. G.. D. Buchan-
ans turkeys strayed off from home. It
been on account Of scarcity OF r%ations.
for they went to a heap poorer place
than home.
Mr., B. O. Verell had q barrel fixed on
~oronacc creek to catch muskrats, we'll
he didn't cotch a muskrat but he catch
ed n small little rat the size of house
rats. O. what a pity to catch such
small animals in such large traps.
Mr.. J. NJ. Major sowed a Patch of
red oats and to his great surprise they
turned out to be barley.
We think that the money that would
he paid for the building Of o bridge
across Hockey creek near Greenwood,
would he we'll spent. We hope that
the County Commissioners will think Of
it. as we have a very bad crossing there
during tho winter. $50 will build it.
The Greenwood dude says he has n
heavy interest in the "A. & X. r. r. tho
friends Of tho G. c. G. s. G. r. r. had

chicks coming on, we suppose there
will be nick Picking in the ncighbor-
hood before long.
We don't know who Nj. Aiken Stacey
is flying Round but we think he is hunt
ing a wife.
They talk about a woman's'sphere,
AS though it has a limit.
There's not . place in earth or heaven,
There's not a tn sk to mankind given,
There's not y blessing nor a woe,
There's not a whisper yes or no,
There's not a life or death or birth,
That has a feathers weighted worth,
Without a woman in it.
Mr.. G.. D. Buchanan ssys he is going
to set q ret to. catch rabbits in, so he
can supply u friends, they
barter dry goods for EN-.
We have got our new Jugs, we hope
our Little people will be successful in
getting them filed by the timo they are
to be broken. We always have a fine
time on jug breaking day. Let evry
body work for the Sunday school evry
where, it is a fine thing.
Mr.. j. P. Gordon had q steel trap sit
ing on the creek::to catch muskrats. An
otter happened to pass it and get his toe
in 1t. He made good his escape by leav-
ing his toe nail fast in the trap, We re-
greet that Mr.. Gordon did net got him.
DR.. Gordon wears a red star on his
beaver, we don't know tho sign.
Master Johnnie Strawhorn says if he

Reading without thosl INT is like pour.
ing water into a seive, but turning il
over and over in our minds starts a new
train Of thought to make us strong
Always keep in view the two great ends
Of Reading, first to add to our stores o.
knowledge next to strengthen mental
Powers. Some times WI may read 70,
mere recreation but ore who makes
amusement the end and sim Of his read
ing will grow neither wiser..nor better
So all who take a newspaper read il
with much thought that they may grow
wiser
Mr.. a. j. Sproles is one of Green
woods finest conference.-the can sell you
as fine a stove, repairs tinware and just
as fno as he is and q heap cheapc,
than he would sell himself, when you
