WE NEED THEM

The people of Pickens and surround
ing country are much pleased with the
efforts being made to get an express
and telegraph office established at Pick
ems. There is no doubt in the world
that these offices are needed here and
that as long as wo are denied them we
arc being Disseminated against. We
believe if the people take theI proper
interest we can at least get the express
office now, and perhaps both offices.
We hope to have somc good news along
this line before long. In the meantime,
talk it up.

There once lived in Jones' Neck a
family of foxes. This family was
thrifty and cunning and they increased
very rapidly, although they never raised
ANYTHING except young ones. They
afforded some sport to the residents OF
that community and the country
around, in fact, people went for miles
to meet there and see them run as
they were all good runners. These
people always brought pack of hounds
with them, as this family runs faster
when the hounds are after them. But
after a while some people in Jones'
Neck got tired of this family stealing
their poultry and began to take steps
to rid the community of them. Finally
a couple of farmers went over in Mary
land and got another family of foxes
and moved them down there and raised
them till they were old enough to care
for themselves. (This occurs very
early in a fox's life.) Soon after
thev were given their liberty, they
killed nearly all of one of these same
farmers turkeys. After the Legisla
ture passed a law to protect foxes they
have increased wonderfully, much
faster according to their number than
anv other running game. They have
increased in numbers until they have
suread all over the State, and some
must have come here from other
States. as most States pay bounty on
them.
They no doubt have come here FOL

Dancing Party Near Philadelphia
Here is a story sent from George
town, Del, to. the Baltimore American
under date of January a: Wilbur
King, of Georgetown, is closely watch
ing all southbound trains for a Penn
sylvania man to whom he recently
shipped some old hornets nests, for
house decorations. King makes a
business of shipping these big nests to
city folks, who gild them and hang
them in their homes. In this case the
nest was shipped to a man living just
outside of Philadelphia, who gilded it
nicely and hung it in his drawing
room. That same night there was a
dance and the guests were doing the
latest fox trots when one of the girls
emitted a scream and did a step that
is not taught by the Castles. Then
another guest let out a howl and it
was only couple of minutes before
the room was empty. Unfortunately
when King had shipped the nest he
neglected to see if the tenants had
been evicted. In the warm room they
had come back tn life, and King has
heard that the buyer is coming to see
HIM.
