The clawhammer or evening coat
has many oddities or cut. These oddi-
ties were once essentials. There was,
in fact, a time when every idiosyn-
Grassy of the clawhammer served
some useful purpose.
The cutaway front of the coat, for
instance, was originally cut away so
that the wearer, when on horseback,
would not be incommoded.
The two buttons at the back were
for fastening up the tails out of harms
way, each tail having in the past a
buttonhole at it's end.
The sleeves, with their false cuffs
are relics Of the days when sleeves
were always turned back, and therefore
were always made with cuffs that I'M
buttoned.
The collar, with it's wide notches, is
a survival of the old collar that was
notched in order that it's wearer could
turn it up conveniently in cold or
stormy weather.
The dress coat, in word, is a
patchwork Of relics once essential, but

"The pills, inclosed in a metal

made surprising discovery while re-
pairing large barn on the place.
While he and another man were work

snake about four feet long stretched
out on the ridge board.
No one hereabouts is able to ex-
plain how the reptile could have got
there. Some of the neighbors think
it might have been blown there by a
high wind when small, while others
think it was carried up with the
boards and timbers when the barn
was built forty years ago.
