For one to look at Ed they'd think he was as clumsy as a COW, but if you could only see him hacking ties you'd be sorry you ever express ed such an opinion of him, for he sho do make the splinters fly and makes from one to two ties per day. Say, if you see any extra teams just send them down to haul off his timber. Just so there are not more than 30.

W. B. Daugherty, Bill" as everyone calls him, has many funny things the latest being an educated chicken which Mr. Daugherty took great pains to educate. One of the smartest tricks it performs is getting up into fruit trees and helping itself to the fruit and at the same time knocking down some for it's brothers, sisters and friends be- low. This shows that it is not only smart but free and liberal hearted a pecuiarity it no doubt absorbed from MT. Daugherty himself.
