ATTRACTIVE NESTS FOR HENS
Discarded Grocery Boxes, Such as
Used for Soap or Condensed MIX,
May Be Used.

Nests that are attractive to hens
because Of their privacy, sanitary as
to character and convenient for the
gathering OF eggs are the claim OF
every one who keeps fowls either In
a limited number or on n large scale,
says a writer In the New York
Tribune Farmer. Various are the
nest arrangements employed by the
different poultrymen, and varied In
character must they continue to be
to suit the requirements OF the fowls
and the plan Of the poultry house.
But no style OF nest that IL at all
practical can fail TO be suggestive to
any poultryman who has not yet
solved the nest problem to his liking.
The nests herewith described are in
tended to suggest rather than to In
vite exact imitation.
A convenient style OF nest is shown
in illustration No. /. The nests are
arranged along the wall, with the
open sides inward, space enough be-
ing allowed at the ends to admit the
fowls. A hinged cover at the top
makes egg gathering a simple mat.
ter These nests may be improvised
from wooden boxes uailed together
ono side being removed and the
hinged cover hung over them. Sup,
port is furnished by four uprighta
which raise the nests about one foot
above ground The nest boxes should
be as smooth as possible, and painted
inside and out
Another convenient arrangement Is
the row Of nests accessible to the
fowls from the inside of the building
but projecting beyond its wall, and

Suffer From Plaque Of Rats.

ed at Santa Paula, Cal. Thousands of
rats, and all big wood rats, have in
vaded the place, and the situation is
such that women are afraid to go to
church. The rats seem to have
preference for churches and on several
occasions have forced the feminine
attendance at services to take to the
high benches. The city authorities
are seeking means to abate the pest,
The rats are believed to have been
driven out of the woods by recent fires

having a hinged cover which may be
lifted from the ouaside to permit
the gathering Of eggs. If necessary a
paddock may be used to secure this
cover.
Style No 2 is preferable to style
No. in cold climates The nests are
along the inside wall, supported
above the ground and open at the
top. A slide in the wall allows the
gathering of eggs from outside Gro
Gerry boxes. such as soap or con.
densed milk boxes, may serve for the
nests, being so divided that two nests
are formed from one box. They
should be movable SO that they may
be readily cleaned.

Elegant Reception.

Saturday afternoon the streets OF

handsomely gowned and happy
looking guests coming and going
from to I to the reception in hon
or of Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Cogburn
at the hospitable home of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. B. Cogburn.
All Edge6eld was interested in
this occasion, and were in haste to
meet and greet with true Edgeheld
cordiality the beautiful bride, who
was Miss Lollie Lewis, of Atlanta,
Of one of Edge6eld's most popular
and beloved sons.
The whole scene in the home was
one of beauty and cordiality. From
the first greeting at the door to the
place of honor, beside the bride and
groom, everything was marked by
graceful and easy hospitality. Fruit
punch was served in the reception
hall by trio of lovely girls, and
in the spacious dining room, sliced
cream and fruit and angel cake were
served by fair and gracious hands
The souvenirs were tiny pink rose
leaves tied in maIine with -ose pink

Joe Grant Viii Yet be Brought
to South Carolina.

MI. J. e. Minis, special deputy
of Sheriff w. r. Swearingen, re-
turned Saturday from Philadelphia,
whittier he went two weeks previous
to that time. to bring q negro, Joe
Grant, to Edgefeld. The negro
killed white man, Mr.. burst, at
Johnston about five years ago and
left for parts unknown" before an
arrest could be made. Rewards were
offered by Governor Ansel and the
citizens aggregating about $500.
Recently the Philadelphia police
located Grant in that city and no
tilted the authorities here. Mr..
Minis left at one for Philadelphia
accompanied8by Mr.. J. H. Swearin-
gen of Johnston, who went for the
purpose of identifying the negro.
Upon their arrival the negro re-
fused to come and employed a law
yer to oppose the granting of a
requisition by the governor of
Pennsylvania. After this action was
taken, Mr.. Minis wired for Solicl-
tor George Bell Zimmerman to
take the matter up through the pre-
scribed channels in Pennsylvania.
Solicitor Zimmerman made Wig
rous fight before the attorney
general. tho governor and the cir
cult court in Philadelphia, obtain
ing favorable decision in each In
stance. After Grants lawyer lost
in the circuit court he filed an ap-
peal to the state supreme court and
as this caused a further delay of 10
days and possibly longer. Solicitor
Zimmerman, Mr.. Minis and Mr..
Swearingen came home to await de-
velopments instead of remaining IN
Philadelphia at considerable ex-
pense. As soon as a day is fixed for
the hearing before the supreme
court Solicitor Zimmerman and the
Edge6eld officers will return to
Philadelphia. 1t is practically GER
tain that Joe Grant who is now In
Jail in Philadelphia will be turned
over to the South Carolina authori-
ties. The supreme court is not likely
to fail to sustain the governor and
attorney general. 1t is believed that
the tisht is being prolonged by the
lawyers in order that they may re-
ceive in fees considerable sum
that has been raised for Grants de-
fense.

Dear Editor If my memory is

row, the 18th OF April 1s49, there
was from to inches of snow that
fell, and today brings the factse
my mind that we may have simi-

row. The indications point that
way. The crops and vegetation were
farther advanced than they are now
for the wheat was all headed and
the foliage on the trees was appa-
rently grow n, and cotton was being
chopped and corn was up, and
most of it had been plowed. The
corn was killed but it came out; the
cotton had to be planted over.
