Signs of a Hard Winter.

That the coming winter is go
ing to be the hardest one for the
past twenty years there is an
abundance of signs to show, and
among them it may be mention
ed that:
The corn husks are foot and
a half thick, and all the stalks
lean tn the west.
The geese, ducks and chickens
are growing a coat of fur under
their feathers, and are rubbing
borax on their feet to harden
them up.
All the one-eyed owls are leav-
ing a month earlier than usual,
aud the bob-tailed squirrels are
laying in sweet potatoes, as well
as nuts, for winter provisions.
The farmer who has taken the
trouble to investigate, has found
that all the toadstools on the old
logs have wrinkles on them.
The last time that this happened
we had winter weather that
froze the handles of plows.
Rabbits are sitting around
with humped-up look to them,
and field mice have wrinkles in
their tails. If this means any.
thing, it means 20 degrees below
zero from November through tc

The Old Hollow Tree Home in
Warren County.

Benton IL. Biles in a recent
correspondent to the (McMinn-
ville) Southern Standard relates
the following:
"a few days ago, in company
with Uncle Charley Snipes, |
visited the old hollow tree where
an old soldier lived and died
many years ago.
"Soon after the close of the
War of 1872, Daniel West, dis
charged soldier, came to the
western part of Middle Tennessee,
where he met with a young wo-
man whose soldier husband had
never returned from the late
war, but word had come back
that he was dead. So in course
of time this woman became the
wife of Daniel West. Time roll
ed on and a daughter was born
to them, and by and by husband
No. |. returned. He and West
talked the matter over and
agreed to leave it to the woman
to choose which she would live
with, and the other was to de-
part i'll peace. She chose her
first husband. AS human society
had no more charms for Daniel
West, he wandered away east
ward for many miles, and finally
he found a large hollow poplar
tree in a dense forest about 8
miles west of McMinnville,
where he settled and lived alone
for many years. He made a
shutter for the entrance to his
tree and when he had fire in it
the smoke went up the hollow
and passed out a large hole about
20 feet from the ground. The
tree is now broken off about 25
feet above the ground, where il
is about four feet in diameter.
"Daniel West was an ingenius
man. He kept some tools and
; made various useful articles anC
trinkets which he bartered with
, the settlers for clothing and pro
visions to supplement- the wil(
? game that was abundant aroun(
him. As time rolled on his dau

and learning where her fathe
