Other vines that were given the same
chance otherwise but not pruned, made
hardly anything. ....One OF the can
didates on Saturday established dan
gerous precedent, that Is If 1t becomes
known. One Of our jolly farmers ap-
preached three in a bunch and upon
being asked as to his health, ETC., he
said that he had plenty Of grass and
little money, and he thought If all the
candidates would give him a dollar
apiece his condition would be greatly
improved. One of them went down into
his jeans and brought out the amount
asked for. The money was returned
later in the day.. Sheriff j. +. Corn
we'll and Mr.. L. B. Dawson left town
yesterday morning about o'clock with
about a dozen hounds to try their luck
on a fox chase. They returned about
clock with a grey fox which they had
caught near Mr.. w. T. McKeown's.
Mr.. Cornweil says that the race lasted
only about Is or 20 minutes, when the
fox ran up a pine tree. 1t was hoped
to capture it alive but 1t jumped from
the tree and was killed by the dogs. A
grey fox doesn't stand any hack at all
this time of year in front of Mr.. Corn
wells dogs, nor at any other season of
the year. He caught two with them
during Christmas.
