Mrs. James ii. Yeager says that 4
little four-y ear-old girl OF Mr.. Frank
Rout put some fish eggs under n set
ting hen three weeks ago and that
wnen she looked in the nest yesterday
there were a number of fine mimi ws
actually tiourishing on dry land.
A lady tells me she is using the iden-
teal cOol-stove she purchased when
she married and went to housekeeping
siXty-one years ago 1t has been in
constant use ever since and is appar-
ent:y as good as new. Mt one cent
was ever srent for rep. irs for it and it
is doubtless the oldest now in nse in
the world.
1 understand that Lincoln county
man will purchase the county rights
to sell the recently invented spanking
machine. From a picture of it that l
have just received observe that it is
worked by means of a freddie, runs as
| lightly as sewing machine and
spanlls a boy % times a second, just
hard enough to not tear or soil the
hide, though sparks are said to fly ont
OF the trousers every lick. The price
of the machine is low and introduced
in Garrard and Lincoln. am sure it
will work wonders
I. is my individual opinion that fold
ing beds should all be committed to
flames or sunk to the bottom of the
sea. Getting into one shows a suic:-
DIAL intent. A young lady here receiv-
Ell the hardest squeezing she ever got
a short time ago by one of these death
traps and was only found III time in
the Mich of time to save her life. Such
instances are read about almost every
day. Last Saturday night Mr.. John
Ashhurst, a nurseryman from Pulaski
county, stayed over night at Mr.. Joha
Whites, about three miles from Stan
ford, and was assigned to room in
which is folding bed. which closed
up on him some time during the night
and at this writing he is thought to
be fatally injured His family has
been telegraphed for at Somerset.
The heavy rains of last week raised
Hanging Fork considerably and when
a young man and his sweetheart at
tempted to cross it in buggy they
found themselves in peck of trouble.
The water was running in the bottom of
the vehicle and when in the middle OF
the stream the horse baked and could
not be induced to bulge. Something
bad to be done, so the young man Lit
out in the raging stream, which struck
above high water mark, the young lad y
as gracefully as the exigency of the
case permitted obeyed his orders, strad-
died his broad shoulders and with his
weighty burden (she weighs 1879 he
waded to the shore, and then in some
way enticed the horse to dry land.
This romantic experience OF the couple
will end in marriage in about two
weeks it is stated authoritatively.
A picture of himself in a blue un'
form ornamented with brass buttons,
cap with tassels on it, sword and
pistol at his side and parading in a
blaze of glory fitted through the mind
of dashing young man of this county
and he straightway proceeded to Lam
caster and ,ined Capt Sam Duncan's
regiment He was allowed to return
home till the time of mobile ltion ar
rived and change came over the spir-
. it of his dreams. Another imaginary
picture arose and with the minds eye
he contemplatively behold a picture OF
himself shipped home in coffin from
Cuba via Tampa. Florida, g upon
his funeral possession en- route to
Stanford Buffalo Cemetery and read
the epitaph on his tombstone; ''He
died for love of his great and glorious
America, sweet land of liberty" The
latter picture outweighed the former
and patriotism fed from him as fast
as Plaudit or Lieber Karl can run. He
, took to the woods and search for him
up to this hour has been as futile as
SPANS bucking against the United
States.
