Mr.. W. H. Folk has on his
place a rather strange phenome-
non which is only a goose. This
goose, deceived by the mild Wea-
ther, has proceeded deliberately
to Law six eggs, with the full in
tention of beginning the year
1906 ahead Of all competitors.
Now the strange thing about all
this is that from the first day Of
the year no one has ever heard
of a goose laying in the winter.
We are constrained to believe
this bird is the biggest goose on
ord.-Newberry Herald and
News.
Among those who went from
Newberry to Oklahoma was Mr..
J. B. Settler, Of Pomaria. On
the return trip. while the train
was stopped at Little Rock, Ar
kansas, Mr.. Settler pulled an old
gentleman off the track in front
of a moving train and saved his
life. The old gentleman was
wealthy and out of appreciation
offered to pay Mr.. Settler. He
refused to accept anything, and
the old gentleman insisted upon
sending him lunch. This he
did, and after the train started
and Mr.. Settler opened his lunch
he found a $40 bill and a S. bill.
The name of the old gentlnman

A. w. Kennerley. an industri-
Gus colored farmer of the Fork,
lost two mules under very pecu-
liar circumstances some short
time ago. He says he went with
a two mule team to haul some
thing from the woods. He hitched
his mules on the edge Of the Ed
isto swamp and went down into
the swamp. While he was away
some person or persons slipped
up to the wagon and set fire all
around his mules, burning one of
them to death on the spot, and
iniuring the other so bad that it
will die. Kennerley does not
know who did the meanness nor
why they did it. 1t is nothing
but an outrage, and if the parties
who did it are caught they should
be severely punished.-Orange
