HartzOg Happenings.

HARTzoG, December 1.-The free de-
livery mail route will start to-day from
here to Branchville. This is good news
to many who have been put to trouble for
some time in getting their mail.
Now is the time to talk good roads and
do more than that. We have been &C
cused of letting this question 60 by un-
noticed. We will admit that We have not
had man working this problem for Us
but at the same time we want q good road
from Hunters Chapel to Bamberg, and il
there is any opposition in getting, the
"right of way" that some one will take a
hand in seeing it removed, and if this is
the only drawback the road will soon be
started Here We see very plain the use
-in having good supervisor; he was 81
kind as to give US a fine road leading te
Branchville; now will he do this much
for his own home town, Bamberg?
We have had fine weather all the fall
and the crops are about through.
The union meeting was held at Hunters
Chapel Saturday and Sunday. A very
large crowd was present Saturday, but
Yesterday it rained so that only a smaal
crowd was out.

MILESTONE Homestead Burned.

Mr.. T. s. Rice lost his dwelling house
BY fire last Friday morning between three
and four O'Clock. 1t was situated about
five miles below town in the Clear Pond
section, and was known as the Milestone
homestead. The fire originated in one of
the upstairs rooms, and is supposed to
have originated from burning SCOT falling
from the chimney. There were some mat
tresses and other household goods stored
in the room, which burned rapidly.
The fire had gained much headway
when discovered, so practically nothing
was saved. The building was large two.
story structure, and was built on the old
colonial style with large columns in front.
There was insurance of $500 on the build
ing and $4O0 on the furniture, but this
will hardly cover the loss.

NO USE FOR EXPENSIVE ooFfINs
Wealthy People Not Extravagant in
Funeral Expenses.


Most persons, l suppose, have the
idea that the rich are buried in ex-
pensive coffins,' said a man who has
spent twenty years in the undertaking.
supply business, to a New York Trib-
Une reporter, but, according to 1uy ex-
perience, it is generally people who
desire to be thought wealthy who in
vest much money in collins. You see,
most rich people have their secretaries,
whose business it is to keep down ex-
penses all the time, and the underta-
kers have found to their sorrow that
they are just as strict when it to
funeral expenses as in anything else.
They want the best always, but they
won't order anything that is extraya-
giant or unnecessary.
ITS the people who are not so rich
that put money into collins" he con
tinued. 81 remember the costliest n
our firm ever turned out. 1t was for a
man in Brooklyn, and was supposed to
cost $4,000, but it didn't. Nothing
would do the family but that plate
and handles should be of solid gold.
The undertaken who had the order told
us to put on plated ones instead. He
managed to spend about 81, 900 Cd the
coffin. The rest, l suppose, went into
his pocket. There is one thing certain
the family never knew the differ
ence. There are some undertakers in
New York who are willing to give peo-
pie whaI they pay for, but the most OF
them are not. An undertaken seldom
pays more than $3.50 for a coffin, no
matter how much money the family is
willing to expend. Almost any n in
the business will tell you that when
you get beyond $3.50 you are throwing
away money"

CHICKENS IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Former Colorado Man Runs a Show
Poultry Farm.

j. II. Hildebrandt, an old resident
Of Denver, has struck it rich in South
Africa-nOt in the gold mines, but in
the chicken and duck business, says
the Denver Republican. About a year
ago Mr.. l~Iildebrandt conceived the
idea of introducing American methods
Of raising poultry In that country, and
established the Good Hope Poultry
Farm, which has become one of the
show places of the vicinity of Cape
town. 1t covers ten acres, about hye
miles out of the city. The product OF
the ranch is entirely dressed poultry,
chickens and ducks. No eggs or live
chickens are sold. The finest stock Of
ducks and Black Hamburg fowls are
imported and used for breeding. The
eggs are placed in in|cubators, the
Matching plant having a capacity Of
500 eggs a month. The i%ncubators are
of American make and are in charge
of expert Incubator men from Penn
sylvania. They have made a record
of Matching and saving eighty-tive per
cent. of the chickens and d%ucklings
from eggs set, and the product of the
farm is about 10000 dressed poults a
year. Mr.. Hildebrandt obtains the
highest price for his entire product
without difficulty. Another American
novelty he has introduced is lucerne
on alfalfa, of which there, as here,
three or four crops a year can be
raised. His American vegetable gar
den, with green corn, is another source
of wonder to the natives.
On this ten-acre tract Mr.. Hide

terprise having proved a thorough
financial success, His brother, George
