Andrew Kennedy, who lives on Walnut
street, Macon, has wonderful cat. Some
time ago the family house Cat died, leaV-
ing her kittens. All but one of the kit
tens died, and this kitty took up with a

nest. Some time after a big dog killed

Judge Alexander McDufin, Ordinary
of Telfair county, says he has a goose %
years old, and that during Ter whole life
she has been an energetic layer and setter
up to about three years ago, when her
laying powers seemed to have collapsed,
but her habits otherwise were unchanged
Every spring now she builds her nest, and
on every other day visits it with clock
like regularity, and after remaining
thereon awhile. she gets OFF, covers up the
nest carefully, as is the custom Of geese
after depositing their eggs. This pro-
gramme is kept up about the usual length
of time, when she goes to setting IN good
earnest. This duty she performs faith
fully, and If eggs are placed under her
she proves to be still fine setter and a
faithful mother.

little girls, when the matter was taken up
by the boys, and tor some time the air
