Mr. H. Wilson Kean, of Bynum, has
in his possession Il letter from his grand

! T. c. Hopkins among the papers of
his grandfather the late John Hop
kins The letter was written on October
LIST, 1906, in which Mr.. kean states to
Mr.. Hopkins that he is candidate for
Sheriff and solicits his vote for that office.
The penmanship and composition are
both excellent and as legiblc as if it had
been written less than Il year instead OF
little less than n century.
The handsome new residence on the
"Belle Farm" the property of the late
Henry {. Jenkins near Pylcsville, was
nearly destroyed by fire on Sunday. The
head of the house, Mrs. Kate Jenkins |
went to church that morning leaving i'll
charge her little eleven year old daughter |
Mary. One of the children who was |
upstairs threw some clothing
near hot stove pipe which caught in a |
blaze and set fire to the floor and ioists |
burning place about three feet square.
Little Miss Mary formed a bucket
brigade with the three younger children
and as they passed the water up to her
she threw it on the flames and finally ex-
tinguished them. Such rare presence of
mind is not often found i'll older persons
and she deserves great credit for her
cool headedness in thus saving the build
ing.
