Its inner and it's outer track
The dancing saddler, and the bull
About four feet across the back,
We're weary of awful war talk
We want to hear the whistles
blow,
The horses neigh, the roosters crow
The blooded cattle when they
low,
And the shriil- voiced starter shout

At the county fair.

And people nowadays don't

do, on the Carter-Abernethy matter
if nothing else, think it would be an
easy matter to get off Black Rock,

and Devils Court House on them.
OF course they would have to do all
this with borrowed money, but the
scenery would be grand. The peo-
pie would enjoy the scenery so
much better if these rugged tops
belonged to the State. Then these
majestic old mountains would have
to remain here in North Carolina

she wants to g. up North, or if she

is as the State can hold her by
peaceable possession under color

Jack Cogdill, but he is wrong. / am

has passed away long ago, poor old
fellow was in delicate health the !!
last time l saw him nearly 40 years
ago. Jack was about three years
younger than if remember cor
rectly.
am wondering if the writer of
that letter is Joe Buchanan, if it is, !

him when he was young man /,

beautiful Jackson girls. I remem-

place that was known as Caney

t but | remember well that Joe
, Buchanan was there and along
about midnight Joe had a fight
e with a fellow about as big again
: as he was, and some of the boys
:. had to pull Joe off of him. can
j we'll remember how the girls flock

5. ingly as he stood over in the east
e corner of the room alone trying to
Ie compose himself after the fracas
Yes, | almost envied him, and be
gan to wish someone else Woul(

/ could get a scrap. Joe was, 6
is handsome young mar, and every
o. one liked him. Iwonder if he i
i'll handsome yet or has he let tn

A man who uses tobacco, drinks
coffee, drinks whiskey and stays up

these habits will shorten his life
many years, but all of them COM

he is man of a !, natural strong

LOSE MANY MEN
AND FIELD GUNS
British Suffer in Scryian Retreat.
Reach Good Position.

London, Dec. I2.-Casualties ag-
gregating 1900 and the loss Of eight
field guns, which they were unable TO
remove from cmplaccmcnts, are told
of in an Official communication Is
sued this evening dealing with the re-
treat OF the British Tenth division
from Lake Doiran, scrvia, in con-
junction with the French.
The communication says.
After sustaining violent attacks by
tho enemy in overwhelming numbers
the Tenth division succeeded, with
the help Of reinforcements, in retir-
ing to strong position from Lake
Doiran westward towards the valley of
the Vardar in conjunction with our
allies.
"Thc division is reported to have
fought we'll against very heavy oppo-
sition, and it was largely due to the
gallantry of the troops, especially Of
the Munster Fusilicrs, the Dublin
Fusilic"5 and the Connaught Rangers
that the Withdrawal was successfully
accomplished.
Owing to the mountainous nature
OF the country, it had been necessary
to place eight field guns in positions
from which it was impossible to
withdraw them when the retirement
took place.
"Our casualties amounted to 1900
men.
