Spec al to the News.
Well as we are due the readers Of the
News some items we hasten to write
these though they may light in the
waste basket neyerth eless we will tell
Of some happenings,
Andrew Curtis was up in the cove last
Friday.
Austin Coppinger said his bacon was
was worth more than any one else's ba-
can :s he smoked il with hickory ashes
and Mrs. Coppinger had set gallon
bucket OF honey in the smokehouSe and
Austin went In to see if the hickory
ashes were out and be saw some bees
dying around the bucket and he took
the bucket out doors and got a gallon
and half OF bees out of the gallon
bucket. Austin and wife took dinner
with us for the first time since 1886
He thought he would try to keep even
with me, but he has given it up so you
see | with the old lady and the flee get
two or three meals u week with him and
at hog killing time wa may move over
, with him, but don tell him SO or he
won't kill hogs at all. Austin once
caught sun perch in the little Sequa-
! chee that weighed little less than 10
pounds. Mrs, Coppinger lost one Of her
| milch cows. 1t did not die OF the milk
| sicll-no did not say it died at all.
! She went to but-hcr when Sc turned her
into the pasture.
Mrs Curtis said her pipe had gone
| out and ! asked her where it had gone
| out and she said it had gone to one Of
! the nelg II bors 10 borrow some tobacco.
I | cd ,gh hn wit pf
| course ! did.
/ There is wagon load of corn goes up
to Peter Cave Fork nearly every day.
Did you ever hear the names of tho
| different branches of tuis wonderful
! little Scuuachee road. The first branch
is the Dixon Cove branch known as the
| Jesse Coppinger station, where the han
! die factory wagon trains switch off.
! They arc all freight wagons bringing
in hickory timber to Suquachee. The
next switch is Indian. There is a
branch road up that gulf to the Rogers
| saWWiu all freight wagons. We call it
the Desert fork thence up little Sequa-
chee to the Peter Cave mills. You can
see the large yellow poplar logs being
brought to SequaChee. | suppose the
wagons that bring lumbe to SequaChee
if they were all chained together would
reach from one cliff to the other side.
If they all happened up there at once
we don't see how they could get out
Mrs Coppinger made flying trip tC
