Special to the News.
One day last week as we were going
from SequaChee to Whitwell we hap
pened to meet our old friend, Dan Pit
man. Well, Uncle Dan 10 still wearing
that pleasant old good natured smile
which he always has when be meets
any Of his old friends.
One time saw Uncle Dan about to
enter show and before be reached the
doorkeeper he turned around and asked
If there we're any little orphan boys
there that had no money to get in the
show, and on being told there was, he
drew out his pOcketbook and paid all of
their ways into the show, remarking to
them that they must be good boys, that
he had geen boy once himself and
would have liked to have met such a
friend to boys as he was. We have
lived neighbor to Uncle Dan and
found him to be good neighbor, very
kind to the sick and always ready to
help any one that was in distress.
While in Whitwell we met our es-
teemed old friend, George W. Lewis,
well-known to the readers of the News,
having been the representative of the
Whitwell department ever since the
News was in its infancy.
Why people should take the News.
First. Because we hear from our
friends all over the county without
having to write SO many private letters.
Second. Because 1t is not a political
paper. Therefore no one can take OF.
fense at its politics.
Third. Because the subscription
price being low it is in the reach of ev-
erybody. Just think about this: SO cop
les for so cents, Now let us count up.
Paper is one-third higher than it was
four years ago, and freights are higher
In fact everything is higher in the way
of newspaper material than it was four
years ago. BY the time the editor pays
for his material, sets bushels of type,
sweats like niger printing both sides,
and prepares the paper for mailing, his
profits are necessarily very small. In
addition to this he pays Uncle Sam for
postage to convey the paper to you.
Come now, boys, hustle round and
send in your subscription at once. You
see every little helps Don't depend on
borrowing the News any longer.
The man who started his boy in great
haste to borrow the News saw the boy
come in contact with and upset a bee
hive worth So. The father hearing the
boy scream ran to his assistance, and in
his haste knocked down three panels
of fence that would cost s1.5O to get re.
placed. The father forgetting himself
put lighted pipe in his pocket and
burned the corner of Sc coat above
the pocket A $40 COW took advantage
of the gap in the fence, and killed her
self eating green corn. The mother
went to the rescue, knocking over a
churn of cream as she went worth 75c.
The baby started to follow his ma,
crawling through the cream and spoil
ed $40 carpet. The calves got out and
chewed the tails and sleeves of OF four
shirts that were on the clothes line.
The dogs broke up three setting hens.

Fire at W. M. HOuts'
Lumber Camp.
Special to the News.

Special to the News.
Tuesday morning about 3 o'clock
the neighborhood of Houts' saw mill
in Copplnger Cove was thrown into
confusion by the alarm of fire and on
looking saw the mill in light flame,
and to such on extent that it looked
like any attempt to subdue the fire
would be in vain. However every
body hastened to the scene, and by
hard work got it under control. The
fire caught in the opposite end of the
shed from the machinery, and conse-
quently 10 damage was done, but if
the fire had started at the other end
of the mill it would have burned ov-
er all the machinery. The fire was
discovered by Wash Coppinger, who
is an early riser, and if he had been
ten minutes late everything would
have been destroyed. Mr.. Houts
had just got in shape from the burn
out he underwent last winter, and il
is quite fortunate it is no worse.
