Fairfield. Oct. 15.--(SpeciaD- One
hundred pounds of fine honey were
taken from the walls in the back of the
Methodist church known as the Lower
Rtchwoods church, about six miles
northeast OF Fairfield the other day.
1t had been known for some time that
a swarm Of bees were at work in the
walls OF the church and as there was
to be Sunday school convention held
there, Is was decided that
several of the men residing near there
had better procure the honey and
drive the bees away before the con-
vention or the tiny workers might
want to have place on the program
and become SO interested in their
work that the people would be forced
to give them the entire church.
Therefore a number of men in the
neighborhood went to the church and
drove the bees away and gathered the
fruits of their labors. The honey they
secured Is said to have been of extra
fine quality and the quantity they
found was a great surprise to them.
