A Persistent Setting Hen.

Mrs. j. J. Allen, of Franklin coun-
tv, has hen that is one of the most
faithful and industrious ''setters"
vet heard from. But the popularity
of this hen is that she persists in
furnishing the nest with imaginary
eggs instead of the real kind. 1t
was known that she had nest in
the cellar and when it was thought
to be about time for her to show the
fruits of her work with brood OF
little chicks Mrs. Allen investigated
and found the hen sitting on a nest
containing eleven onions nicely peeled
and of uniform size. She proceeded
to have the nest broken up and
thought that would be the end OF it.
Mrs. Allen, however, discovered some
time after that the Industrious hen
had moved her nest few feet from
the first one and was again at work
on her second crop. Upon examina-
ton she found that the persistent and
would-be mother of a brood of young
chicks had scratched out place on
the hard ground for nest which
was nicely lined with onion tops.
The second nest contained nineteen
onions OF uniform size and peeled as
the first were. which the hen had
gathered from pile stored away in
tho collar

THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
A Henderson nan's Narrow Escape
From Drowning Chung to an
Overturned Boat Nine
hours

Mr.. L. e. Williams. father of Mrs.
R. A. Powell. of Henderson. had
thrilling experience near Norfolk last
week which came near costing him
his life. He was down there on a
visit and last Thursday in company
with young man went out in a
small sail (..cat') boat fishing. When
near Ocean View they were struck by
squall and after battling with the
winds for some. time the boat was
capsized throwing both men into the
water. This was about : O'Clock in
the evening.
Both succeeded in getting back to
the boat and chung on to the ever
turned craft. which drifted out to
sea. The waves beat over the men
and at times they would be so badly
strangled that it seemed as if they
must be drowned. Nor was this the
worst part Of their experience The
two men. while clinging to the boat.
would every now and then be washed
off by the heavy seas, but they man.
aged to regain hold each time and kept
this up until succor finally reached
them.
All night long Mr.. Williams and
his companion chung to the over
turned boat alternately riding the
waves or being submerged by them.
1t was not until ) o'clock Friday
morning that they were rescued from
their perilous situation. They were
seen by passing steamer from which
boat was speedily launched and
sent after them. Exhausted almost
beyond the point of further endur-
| ance the two men We're at once put
to bed and properly provided for
under the care of physician. They
were put ashore at Old Point whence
they returned to Norfolk.
This was an experience Mr.. Will
liams will never forget as long as he
lives. And it was one which he
would not 60 through again for all

GOLD LEAF unites with a host OF
friends here and elsewhere through
out the State in rejoicing with Mr..
Williams that he came out of the
trying and perilous position safely
and hopes that he may never have
such close call again. Although he
suffered considerably there is cause
for thankfulness that he escaped

Messrs. Bertram and Willard, under
