The election and the Farmville Fair
both are over and our people can look
forward to a month or so of quiet. nor
not quiet either for the hunting sea-
son is on and the bang" of the gun
IS heard on every side. Game is said
to be more plentiful than common and
as our farmers have had such lovely
weather for seeding grain they can
take little more time than usual this
year for hunting.
Mrs. n. A. Pollard has return d
from Memorial Hospital very much
improved in health.
Quit a number of our farmers have
built silos and are furnishing cream to
the Farmville creamery. 1t may be
that after a while our people will make
money out of other things than tobac-
co. Mr.. Norvel Pollard is trying to
do so, and seems very successful.
He planted some six or eight acres in
Irish potatoes in July, but the stand
was poor so he sowed mrnips on the
land at the last working of the pota
toes. He tells me that he will O, (
over 200 bushels Of potatoes and at
least / 600 bushels Of turnips off of
this lot. He has a silo filled with cut
corn and pea vines and with his crop
Of turniDs will easily feed his twelve
cows. Besides he has thirty-six hogs
fed from turnips and skim milk He
separates the cream at home. On the |
other side Of me lives George Carter, !
the celebrated tobacco raiser. He will |
make 40 600 lbs. tobacco this year, and
he knows how to handle it too. But
he also sells meat corn, flour, hay
and other products and has some Is
to 100 acres in clover. He does not
raise any cattle, however, but feeds
his hogs the year around. SO you see
success is possible in more than one
way.
Some one NAV ask what am doing.
Well, I'm like MacR. says, I m 90
ing to play the very mischief ne,t
year.

A CURIOUS CHIMNEY.
One In Wales Two Miles High With a
Brook Running Through 1t.

Brook Running Through 1t.
Who ever heard of a chimney two
miles high with brook running
through it? Yet such a chimney exists
in connection with the copper works
az Cwmavon. near Aberavon, in Gla-
mOrganshire. south Wales. This is how
it came to be built:
About sixty years ago the copper
smoke from these works was the
plague of the neighboring countryside
1t settled upon and destroyed the
grass for twenty miles round, while
the sulphur and arsenic in the fumes
affected the hOofs of cattle. causing
gangrene. The owners of the works
tried all sorts Of devices to remedy the
trouble, but in vain. Finally Robert
BrentOn. who was afterward a sue
cessful railway engineer in India. solv-
ed the problem.
The copper works are at the foot of
steep hill. Mr. Brenton constructed
flue, or chimney. running continu-
Ously from the base to about a hun
dred feet above the summit. following
the natural slope of the ground. The
brick which lined il and of which it
was largely constructed was burned
close by. A small spring gushing out
near the summit of the hill was turned
into the chimney and allowed to flow
through almost its entire length to
condense the smoke. Once a year it is
swept out and about a ton Of precipi-
tated copper obtained. Its top can be
seen for between forty and fifty miles.

and his twenty one -year-old son Rufus
were drowned /" the Breadkiln river

The father and son had been fish.

river into the Broadkiln. At the jetty
they met the steamer Marie Thomas
on her way from Philadelphia to
Milton.
To make better time they hailed for
a tow and soon had rope made fast
and were pulled up the river by the
steamer At a small creek. near their
home. where they wanted to cast off,
the elder man stepped to the bow o.
the boat to cast off the rope. His
weight and the rate of speed at which
they were going combined to push the
nose of the little craft under water
and sink it.
The two men were wearing heavy
gum boots and as they went over
board elapsed each other in arms.
