I'll about is a mass of ind stnguish-
ible footprints, and ever ath from
the village is choked with long strings
of beasts going off to their feeding
grounds. Hitting off a lions spoor
under these circumstances is almost
impossible. and the dust raised by the
herds is very disagreeaLle.
Besides villages. any wei in the
neighborhood is a good place to loo,
for spoor. If a lion is about there
ought to be no difficulty in picking up
mis- spoor within day or two.
Battling Ways OF the Jungle Folk,
Rather curious condolences are
sometimes brought to light by spoor
Not very long after the date OF the
story just related, one of our party
went to a place where two lions had
been killing regularly. and sat up two
lights for them with donkey as bait
fhe lions must have left the district
for a day or two while he was there,
rs there were no fresh tracks to be
found anywhere about. The day after
he came back to camp | happened to
ride out in that direction. Soon after
we started we came on the spoor of
two lions, which led us along path
till we came to the shooting zereba
The night after he had left. the lions
had walked over the very spot where
his donkey had been tied up In the
middle of the path.
little later. again. | happened to
be at a place where he had camped
a few days before. lion roared near
ny camp several times in the night
md next morning | heard he had
,aken a sheep from village close bv.
We picked up his spoor in a river
bed near the camp, and after follow
ing 1t for some distance came to some
wells. The lion had drunk twice, and
between the drinks had laid down
.nder the fence Of shooting zereba
which had been made to watch the
water. After drinking the second
time he had gone away.
Now and then when tracking you
come across places where lions have
killed. and II it is on sand or bare
soil. you can tell everything that has
happened almost as well as II you
had seen II. We were camped once
on the edge Of a river bed and thick
covert ran right down to the back oi
the camp. One night there was a
tremendous scufiilng in these bushes.
so In the morning went out to see
what had been going on. and found
that two lions had been chasing a
warthog. which had just saved It's
bacon by getting underground. II
must have been very near thing.
as the lions had ploughed great fur
rows in the sand at the mouth OF the
hole. showing they had pulled up pret-
ty sharp. Warthogs generally go to
ground when pursued, and as there Is
no second opening to the burrows, and
presumably no chamber at the end
where they can turn. they always go
In backwards. This has actually been
seen by sportsmen who have been
riding after them with spear. /
should think this pig can hardly have
had the time to do this. Perhaps he
got jammed In head first, as he re-
fused to be smoked out when we tried

 It is stated that residents along the
 railroad have been for sometime in
 state of terror, fearng that sparks from passing locomotives would set their grain and grass fields on fire. Now they feel treasured and can rest O o'nights, since in a year or two the use of coal burning locomotives will be abandoned, and the deadly live
 wire will hang ever head. The oiling of the Main street of the town began Saturday from Ash Creek bridge W weStward. A good heavy coat is being put on and it will have to last next summer. Of course Se- lectmap Fox is one of the moving spirits in this good work, and riding
 out in his handsome automobile he
 will see to it that the work is well done.

People in town are still talking about the cloud burst which gave a tremendous ''downpour,' Friday after noon, flooded the streets, made ponds in the meadows, and did the crops a world of good. An incident of the shower was the narrow escape of the house Of a colored man named Miller
 Hho lives near the residence of MT. Henry Burr. with whose family he has been connected nearly all his life. The electricity knocked a hole in the roof of his dwelling and set 1t on fire Mr. Neil Randolph got a ladder and seal ing the roof, quenched the flames with a few buckets of water. Mir MilIer's mother who was sitting in chair on the front porch was rudely thrown to the floor. The storm extended no further west than Southport
 The Watson family arrived on Sat urday at the Ocean Waverly cottage at the beach.
 There was quito a little gathering on Friday night af the house of At torney Clitus King. in honor of the 18th birthday of hIs boy, Marshall King. The compliment took the form of a surprise Miss Rachel Pickett and Miss Iva King resided at the tea tables and cut the cake, dished the cream and poured the lemonade For tunes were told, the love lines on the boys hands being designated. as good.

 Do you know that Nothnagle's great summer sale is now in full swing, big ger and better than ever before?

Read full particulars in the new Nothnagle advertisement on last page and you'll get some idea of the saving g that can be made while this great sale lasts. Remember every article in the store is offered at a very sub stantial reduction for cash, and many articles in every department go at a double reduction, which brings them down to about half their actual value when you consider that the regular Nothnagle prices are much lower than other stores for the best quality goods Among the articles that go at a dou- ble reduction are a lot of fine and me- dium priced dressers, chiffOniers, iron beds, wood beds, brass beds, side boards, buffetS, dining tables, rockers, pictures, lace curtains, portieres, ce- dar chests, utility boxes, etc. It won't do you any harm to look and may do you a heap of good.
