Contractor Orr, of this city has in his
possession very curious and valuable
relic. In 1907 his grandfather John Orr,
killed buck in Pennsylvania county, N.
c., on Davidson river, and put the horns
in the fork of spanish oak Sapling.
The place became kind ofneighborhood
land mark among the settlers, the ridge
and deer stand there being given the
name of "Buok Horn" The sapling be-
came large tree and April 9th 1857
just eighty years after-was cut by
Gidgeon Orr, The wood had grown
around the horn placed in the Tree by
the hunter OF the early part Of the century
and tho piece of the tree cut out has the
shaft of the horn inside of it and its
points preforating the surface and con-
stitutes the relic now here. The trunk
at the place where the horn was imbed-
bed was about eighteen inches in dame
ter. The relic was a curious and valua-
BILE reminder of the old time and of an
interesting chapter of family history.
Efforts have been made by museums to
buy it, but MIR. Orr naturally prefers
GreenUilie Ncos.
"A brother takes US to task for the
following sentence in circular recently
sent out: "Our help does not come from
any other than Gods own Presbyterian
people. Once in while Il few others
contribute, but it is these who own these
houses that must provide for their in
mates" The sentence is little involved
and taken apart from our known and oft
expressed views might misload. The
thought we meant TO express, was this
1t is the duty of Presbyterians to sup
port this land other Plesbyterian) Or
phanages. 1t is not the duty Of other de-
nominations to do so, and as a matter of
fact, scarce fifty dollars out of a thous-
and for this institution comes from other
than Presbyterian sources. But, dear
Methodist brother, do not imagine for
moment that Methodist dollar is either
unwelcome or unappreciated. So far
from it, there is a flavor of earnest broth
erliness in such gift, that goes right to
the heart. We know that one-half of the
orphans under our care were from other
than Presbyterian families, but that does
not alter the feeling we have, that we had
no right TO expect gifts from other than
Presbyterian sources. When Gods
precious Methodist and Baptist and Epis-
copalian people, give to help our or
phans, we are very glad and grateful.
Still, we must urge the duty on Pres
byterians who own these buildings to
support its nmates.-Onr MONTHLY.
