Mallard was burned on Tuesday
night the 3rd. The kitchen turni-
ture and provisions were nearly ali
lost, but the bedroom furniture was
saved. Mr.. Mallard built the resi-
dence about - years ago at cost of
$500. Three years since he moved
to Faisons and build residence
there. His son was living in the
residence at the time of the fire.
The loss was only partially covered
by insurance.
Mr.. Editor; Sir, l noticed an arti-
Gle in your paper a week or two
since headed Newton Grove Items.
The author stated that the people
were working with will in the
vicinity, and that crops were fiatter-
ing These are facts, an to indellibly
impress the fact upon your readers.
adds that he walked up to a neigh
bors the other day and found the
wife blowing the faithful old horse
who is the father of l6 children, 90
years of age and 6 feet 81 inches
tall. 1t surprised him, but a few
moments thought solved the pablem
1t WILDLY came to his mind that
his mare had fine colt and deter
mined her time should not be lost
had the old woman to harness him
to the pillow. Every one that has
read the article says the saddle fits
me, at any rate l will accept it. By
the by, taking all in consideration l
think the author paid me and the
old woman quite compliment. If
| he had been an alliance man he
would have readily seen that / was
economizing. He, and all good
farmers should submit to be in
and harnessed to the alliance pillow,
and help break up the ruff and rug
ged soil we have to contend with,
acknowledging the fact that the old
woman did pillow me few rounds
in the garden. / did not allow her
to use the bride, for | know full
we'll she was an expert using the
lines, in fact she can harness or un-
harness horse as quickly as I can
That's not all, she can pillow as
strait furrow, cook as good rations
as any mans old woman. She is
on OF them. The author of the
article under consideration particu
lariZes the number of children the
old horse has, as if it were some
great MisnOma, as to the number he
is the father of / can't say, but
sympathize with him in his dot'
age and has only one child living
and he OF age, 1t is well to prepare
for old age as / have. Mr.. Edito
I do not claim the title of Partiarcl
exactly yet, but if | should live ;
hundred or two more years I'll be
gin to think am getting there.
OLD HORSE.
Mr.. Editor what would you thinl
of a man that did haul out fleas t.
manure potatoes with? Would yo1
not think him insane, or trying t
invent g new fertilizer, or rather
featilizer? Well, sir, the very sam
man that wrote the article about TIL
old woman plowIng the old hors
(her hushand1 did this very tricl
the other day. He concluded il
the goat lot there was lots of fin
manure, so he goes to hauling an
putting out. He soon found tn
manure looked quite scanty in thu
drill. You know the nature O
a flea, when you have him he is no
there. The result was that the
had broadcasted themselves over tn
patch. Soon the trouble came. a
of che hands had to leave the patch
The old man is now at loss no
to manage to sit out more sprouts {
work those he has set out, for h
knows if he enters that patch agai
he will be the worse f1ea-bitten ma
on top side of the ground. Hush,
think hear some one saying he hs
fallen upon n plan. He is going
, send to the drug store and get hi
Y a half bushel of flea powders al
=, work the whole thing out of IL
n patch. Then he will be hapI
}. pan again.
