The Adair County news., 1909-06-30

There were several good farmers in
town few days ago, it being a rainy
day, and the conditions of the public
roads was discussed. There were
several bad mud holes pictured by vari-
Gus parties but the worst of all evident
ly are found on the Greensboro road,
the avenue over which Mr.. H. B. Gar
nett travels to reach the county seat.
Mr.. Garrett described two mud holes
that would defy the most daring, yet
people manage to get through. A
short time ago, as stated by Mr.. Gar
nett, Aaron Cravens, of color, was re-
turning from Sand Lick, a small bust
ness point in the Southern part of the
county. when his mule and buggy both
overturned in one of the lakes of mud
and water. 1t was with difficulty and
assistance that the mule and
buggy were extricated. While there
has been an unusual amount of rain yet
no overseer should allow such places in
his road. The Fiscal Court, last April,
refused to levy road tax and there is
no other way to keep them passable ex-
cept as the law provides and that should
be enforced.

1t Was Not a Wild Cat.

A few days ago quite sensation was
created at Casey Greek, small but
prosperous town in the northeast part
of this county, by the report of an ex-
citing chase, the catching and killing of
one of the largest wild cats ever seen
In that section. AS reported, Messrs
Elvin Napier and Bill Brown, reputable
citizens of that city, went out for some
squirrels but to their surprise bigger
game was in the woods. Soon after en-
tering on the hunt the dogs, with
enough cur blood in them to be game,
entered into chase that convinced the
aforesaid gentlemen that something
unusual had been struck, and in due
time the animal was caught. A fierce
fight ensued and the shrieks of the cat
mingled with the cries of the dogs
made the hair on their heads rise to an
unusual height. Being game men and
prepared for game they ventured to
the rescue of their CANNES, emptying
their guns six times, every shot taking
effect. Thus the cat met death. The
report spread like wild fire of the killing
of an unusually lare and fierce wild cat
and congratulations were passed to the
parties who had reduced the danger
from wild animals in that section and
evidence of their appreciation was
manifest. At any rate there were
some in that section who, had never
seen a wild cat, catamount or other
ferocious animals that are sometimes
killed in our hilly section of the state,
so the desire to see wild cat prompted
several to look up the animal the next
day. Gladly the hunters piloted the
party to the body that had been slain
and to their surprise found it to be one
OF the largest specimines of common
maltese, an ordinary house cat in that
part of the country.

There was girl in our town
And she was wondrous wise.
She didn't squeeze and pinch her hip.
And thus reduce their size
She didn't wear a pile of hair
All frizzled and becurled.
She didn't wear bonnet that
Shut her off from the world.
She let the old piano rest;
She learned to bake and brew,
And learn to roast and fry and broil
And learned to build stew.
We know you love to meet her.
And you would love her. How
We hate to disappoint you, but
She's married now.
