Mr.C. S. Alligood seems to be in hard
eat luck. Last sunday night he got af-
ter pole cat that had invaded his hen
coop and had rather ludicrous expert

big arm chair with his hand dropped
down by the side of il rocking as big ~
Julius Caesar and feeling good over
his successful candidacy for county
'cgistrhtion officer when large cat
came up and sat down so close that its
tail got under the rocker then there

Did Soldier, forgot about his new office
and is busy now nursing that wounded
