No fowl is so hard to doctor as

poultry men never dreamed of

Runaway Horse and Buggy Furnish
Diversion.

A horse and buggy, belonging to
Mr.. A. p Miller, created a good deal
Of excitement here Friday morning,
the notwithstanding run beginning
at the Brandon Machine Shop and
ending in the public square.
Mr.. Miller had driven into Bran
don and stopped at the machine
shop where he left negro boy hold
ing the turnout. The horse became
frightened and breaking loose from
the boy, came down Main street
rather fast. At this time the town
square was filed with buggies and
and wagons and the runaway landed
in the midst of them, jumping clear
over buggy belonging to Mr.. G.
C. Irby. The buggy failed to clear
and smashed one wheel of the Irby
buggy. Next the runaway made for
team of four mules hitched to a
wagon. The mules joined in the
race and the negro driver, who had
been asleep in the wagon, furnished
classy acrobatic stunt trying to
gain his feet.
The runaway horse finally ran
into some teams near the Busick
store, becoming so tangled that he
was brought to standstill and cap
tured. The buggy was badly smash
ed but the horse was uninjured.

It's all right to have the brood

1t does not take much of carpen-
ter to put pane ofglas in a brood
coop, and the chicks do better if
they can have light, when they
must be shut up during cold, stormy
weather.
When spell of bad weather
comes, look out for lice. They null
