The Tale Tellers Association at Et-
ma is trying hard to beat us but we
are still in the ring An Irish potato
was raised here in 1867 that was so
large that it took III acres for it to
grow on, III Irishmen TT years to dig
it, III car loads of dynamite were used
when the potato was raised out of the
ground and on the under side you
could see where the Chinese had been
working. They had devoured nearly
half of it. They had been mining in
it for several years. The mines were
owned by different companies. One
mine was named Chin Sang mines.
Cinnamon stayed in these mines and
were brought up and that is how China
got up here and some of the Irishmen
fell through the hole into China. Chi
ma threatened war with us for digging
all of it out. Only the gable end of
that potato could be shipped and used,
the rest rotted. Now where that pota-
to rotted there was a pile of potato
bugs as high as Lookout mountain and
they had to do something SO they went
to every little garden where Irish po-
tatoes were raised, few in each gar
den all over the United States. So
that is where they came from.
Many sightseers have had the mis-
torture to fall through that potato hole.

Queer Race.

A News reporter witnessed pecul
lar race Saturday when one-legged
negro boy caught a rabbit in race a
long road near Victoria. The report
er was jogging along behind one of the
News fast trotters, when a medium
sized rabbit jumped up in front of the
his horse and ran along the road in
front of it. A negro boy, who is min
us leg, but possessed of an elongated
crutch, was seated beside the road, but
did not see the rabbit until it had pass
ed him He took out after it, and
such jumps were never seen made by a
one-legged individual In hundred
yards the rabbit darted into a gully,
and the negro went head over heels in
to it, the crutch flying in the air, but
emerged some moments later with a
grin on his ebeny features from ear to
ear, as he held the struggling rabbit in
his hand. Give that coon his natural
equipment of legs and he would out
run steam engine.
