Ferausson and the Rabbits.

Robert Ferguson, the poet, was first
matriculated at St Andrews universi-
ty in the session Of 1T64-5. 1t was
the custom at this time for each bursar
to take his turn in invoking blessing
at the meals. The college table having
been surfeited with an unbroken diet
Of rabbits in various forms Of cookery.
Ferguson, on being called to say
grace, repeated what are now celebrat-
ed lines:
For rabbits young and for rabbits old.
For rabbits hot and for rabbits cold.
For rabbits tender and for rabbits tough
Our thanks We render. for we've had
enough.
1t may be added Ferguson was not
sent down. but the rabbits were rus

cross roads, about four miles
from here, made corn crop
this year which several of US
think deserves mention. The
records OF Drake. Tyndale and
perhaps others for a single
prize acre were not broken,
but amount of fertilizers,
character of land and average
yield tor the entire crop being
considered, Mr. Moore's sue
cess must be regarded as ex-
cellent. The land is not rich
bottom land, but is what is
known as ordinary upland, re-
claimed from the fat pine
woods, and hal been under
cultivation several years, pro-
ducing the ordinary crop of
corn, cotton, tobacco, potatoes,
etc. Neither did he select his
best acre and "pet' it up
several years for a prize con-
test. He simply planted an
entire field with the object Of
making a good crop atreason-
able cost. The field contains
sixteen acres. All OF it was
prepared in the same way
anu planted, manured and
cultivated in the same manner.
About five acres of the corn
were a little better than the re-
naming eleven. In this five
acres he staked off one
acre and gathered the corn
therefrom separately and care
fully shelled and measured it.
The yield from this acre was
seventy-nine bushels and five
quarts 20 bus and 5 qts). The
Weld of the entire field of six
teen acres averaged seventy
bushels. In other words Mr.
Moore gathered from the six
teen acres eleven hundred and
twenty bushels Q120) of prince
white corn. The fertilizers
used cost about $500 the acre,
not including some stable ma-
nure which Was produced with
out any outlay of money. Mr.
Moore says that the fodder and
pea-vine hay produced along
with the corn will just about
pay for the fertilizers. This
leaves him 1120 bushels of
corn net, which is worth 81, ,12O,
and this from sixteen acres! Is
not this right good farming on
the "poor fiat lands of Will
liamsburg?"
We have heard of some
other big corn crops in the sur
rounding country, notably Mr
j Z Godwin's and Mr. Alex
Tilton's. 1t is hoped that we
shall be able to give particulars

former resident of this town
is more welcome than he.

Sheriff Graham was in town a
short while Monday. 1t has
been reported to the Sheriff
that an alcoholic drink was
beng sold by a certain person
in town and that it was being
sold on Sunday as well as on
week days. We understand
that the claim is made that
the drink IS not intoxicating.

Late Friday afternoon an en-
CINE while shifting jumped the
track at the switch in front
of Sauls-Baker Cos store and
blocked traffic for something
like three hours. This is the
second time within few
weeks an engine has been de-
rallied at the same spot, but
whether in the same manner we
do not know. However, if eye
witnesses are to be belieI ed,
the first mishap was due to
no defect in the road but to the
manner in which the switch
was operated.
Thursday afternoon Mr.
Wardie Carter and his brother
drove their mule up to the
fountain in front of Messrs
Stewart & Floyd's store, which

brother got down and slipped
the bride to permit the mule
TO drink, while Mr. Wardie re-
manned in the buggy. From
some unaccountab bic cause the
mule took fright, and running
directly towards the railroad,
dashed full speed against 4 fiat
car OF a moving train. Mr.
Garter was hurled from the
buggy and almost directly be-
tween the wheels of the car,
but, with rare presence of
mind, he rolled out of danger
and escaped with some bruises.
The mule, however, was fearful
ly wounded. The upper arm of
one shoulder was broken into
splinters and the point of the
shoulder blade shattered.
Our good friend, MIR Jno B
Davis of Lambert writes US that
"The ancient tombstone" is a
myth. His letter is so we'll
written and so interesting that
we take the liberty Of quoting
large part of it. He says:
"Some years ago friend of
mine living near the Belin
church informed me that there
was an old gravestone in the
Belin burial ground with an
inscription on it no one had
been able to decipher. He stat
ed further that the stone had
been ploughed up in a field
over fifty years ago by one of
Mr. Cleland Belin's slaves, Dock
Gaillard by name, and been
placed in recent years at the
base of the tombstone over Mr
c Belin's grave as a prop to
hold the tombstone erect. |
walked over to the graveyard
from Mingo bridge the same
afternoon l got my information
and examined the stone. 1t
was a fat piece of sandstone
such as abounds in that region
and was in it's natural shape,
and the following lettering was
in PLAIN English, and the
numerals such as we use now,
and the inscription as follows:
Yon Woo
aged 81 mo
Died October 116S
My opinion of the matter
is that some old resident of
Willstown cut this inscription
on the soft sandstone either
for joke or for a pastime.
The date was good many
years before the discovering of
America and a good many
years before our present
numerals were used"
1t has been suggested that
possibly the date intended is
not the year 116S but October
l1,1S6S. Some would write the
date thus: October l1'6S or IL,
66. The character or may
have been cut so shallow as to
have disappeared.
