Lean Kline Tried to Fatten.

Woodruff, June 25.-Yesterday af-
ternoon six of Woodruff's citizens
went on a fishing excursion on the
Enoree river, near here, and before
they returned had somewhat novel
experience. They drove down into
one of the large pastures on the
Enoree, struck camp and each OF
them placed his clothes, outer gar
ments, under garments and all, be-
meath the cool shades Of some big
poplars near the banks Of the river,
confidently expecting to find them
when they returned with nets full OF
fresh fish. They seined for several
hours and returned to their I'm
provised camp, there to put their
clothes back on and enjoy a dinner
of freshly fried river fish, but, 10,
no clothes were to be found-in-
stead only the broken grass and
weeds around the place where the
clothes had been left.
On gazing around in blank amaze
ment, several COWS were to be seen
standing off watching the proceed
ings. The animals seemed to be
very much amused and finally 1t
dawned upon the fishing party that
their clothes had been eaten. by the
COWS. One real bit of evidence that
this was true was noticed. 1t is
stated as a fact that the poorest OF
the bovines lifted her head, waved
aloft red shirt and led the parade of
down through the Swamps. Those
who went on the excursion crept
back into town at a late hour last
night.
