The many friends of Mrs. Lucy Rhodes
were pleased, last week, to hear that she
had so far recovered as to be able to return
to her own home at Beech Hill. Please don't
print it Beach, for the road was named for
the hill it crosses, and the Hill was named
on account of the beech trees that grew upon
it, while beach is the shore OF the sea, or
lake, which is washed by the tide and
waves.

dinner at C. O. Dickey's on the day before
Christmas, on account of a wedding to be
attended by Mr.. Bryant the next day. The
writer was quite abashed by being unex-
pectedly called upon to carve the largest
turkey he ever saw, with twenty-five peo-
pie looking on. The dinner was grand
success, except the carving.
One of the prettiest weddings in North
port for some time was that on Christmas
| day at high noon when, at the home of the
brides parents, Miss Helen, only daughter
of our respected citizen, Charles I. Knight
was united in marriage with Leroy W., son
of Hon. P. G. Hurd of Northport. The
ceremony was very prettly performed by
the Rev. c. H. Bryant, in the presence OF
the families of the contracting parties. After
the ceremony the company sat down to a
| Christmas dinner such as Mrs. Knight
knows so well how to prepare and Charles
! to provide. Congratulations are extended
by their many friends.
Charles Thompson a short time ago went
out to his barn just at dusk to feed his
! stock, and while in the top of the barn after
| hay he heard and saw large bird flying
around and gave chase and after awhile
| succeeded in catching monster henhawE
! by the head but about the same time the
hawk stuck his long and sharp claws into
| Charles other wrist, making the blood flow
! freely. Just then a neighbor happened
along and they made out to pry the claws
| from the aching wrist and to cut off the
hawks head. The big barn doors were oper
and the hawk went into the barn and made
a supper off some young chickens that wert
on the floor, and, like some human beings
after getting into a bad scrape did not know
enough to get out. Charles will carry the
scars to remind him of an encounter which
he will not care to repeat The birds wing:
spread three feet and six inches from tip tt
