NAPLES is length of old cedar rail
fence rather messy and Weather-
beaten but still well preserved.
This length of fence consists of
three rails one above the other. but
there is no trace Of any of the rest of
the original fence. The mammoth
naples form the fence posts and the
ends of the three rails stick right
through the middle of the trees,
showing that when the fence was put
up some 10 years ago, the builder had
made holes through the hearts of the
trees, large enough to insert the rails
which are now solidly imbedded in
the very vitals of the trees.
The naples are now about three
feet in diameter.
