Kept jumping from tree to tree TO keep
warm but she always came back to
hear anything Mrs. Rabbit was say
ing. And when she heard Mrs. Rabbit
make such an astonishing and amaz-
ing remark she decided that though
it was a cold day she would be kept
warm by hearing such interesting talk.
She loved gossiping and chattering
and talking, did Mrs. Squirrel, and
Mrs. Rabbit loved it just as much.
Mrs. Rabbit was little bit more Curl
Gus as a rule than Mrs. Squirrel, but
this time Mrs. Squirrel was as curious
as any creature could possibly be.
81 really don't understand you," said
Mrs. Squirrel.
won't you please explain?" she con-
tinued after a pause, for Mrs. Rabbit
had said nothing.
II don't see what there is to eX-
plain" said Mrs. Rabbit. Il was just
repeating fact. February is the only
month of the year which I can call a
month free of worry. The other
months I have worries and many Of

Mrs. Rabbit wiggled her nose, tapped
her ears, and looked at Mrs. Squirrel.
"Cold day, isn't it?" she said pleas
antly.
81 don't care whether it is cold or
not want to hear what you have to
say" said Mrs. Squirrel.

hear you talk now. Tell me the Cos

81 haven't a bit to tell you" said
Mrs. Squirrel, who was much disap-
pointed Mrs. Rabbit took so long in
explaining herself. II want to hear
why February is the only month in
which you have no worries"
"Now l really shouldn't have said
that" Mr.. Rabbit answered. mo, l
really shouldn't have said that at all.
It's not kind and motherly for me to
call the darlings worries. No, it's not
nice Of me to do that, and l don't
mean it"
"You don't mean what" asked Mrs.
Squirrel, who was all mixed up.

"What darlings?" asked Mrs. SPUR
rel. do you mean the little rabbits?'
ST do" said Mrs. Rabbit.
"Don't they worry you in February
asked Mrs. Squirrel. cor do the
'darlings' promise you one month in
which they really will be darlings and
not worries?
"You do them a great injustice,
said Mrs. Rabbit. "They never mean
to be worries, ana they are always
darlings."
aren't you getting a trifle con-
fused?" asked Mrs. Squirrel, in rather
a scolding voice. She was annoyed
that still she didn't understand what
Mrs. Rabbit had meant.

Mrs. Rabbit cheerfully. YOU'RE con-

Boy Accidently Killed.

Last Friday, at the home of Mr..
Scott Wiley, four miles southwest of
Union City, Willard GARRETT was ac-
cidentally killed by Sam Guinock.
The boys, about fifteen years of age,
were out in the woods lot sitting on
some posts. Guinock had a shotgun,
a 20-guage gun. They were fairly
close together, and the accident oc-
Cured when Guinock was swinging
the gun from his right side to his
left. AS the gun came round to the
left it was accidentally discharged,
the shot entering Garriett's neck and
tearing hole along the throat and
ranging downward. Garrett never
spoke. 1t is supposed that he was
paralyzed.
Young GARRETT was son of w. w.
GARRETT, who came to this county
from Middle Tennessee about year
ago. The family is a large one and
the deceased is survived by several
brothers and sisters, as well as his
parents.
The remains were taken to Beth
lehem, four miles west of Troy, to be
buried, with appropriate services.
Guinock, the boy who was han
ding the gun, is the son of Mr..
Guinock, who lives on the old Bed
ford place, which adjoins that of Mr..
Wiley. The boys were out playing
together and the killing was purely
accidental. The stricken family
have the kindest sympathies of the
neighbors and friends.

In Memory of Nell Brown.

On the morning of May 16, 1918,
as the lovely day was beginning and
mother nature was gently raising
her curtain over busy world, God
in his infinite mercy waited the spir-
it of nellie to her eternal home
Nelles condition had been considered
hopeless for many months. She was
a cheerful sufferer always, greeting
her friends with welcome smile
She was taken in the early hour OF
life, being only twenty years old
yet she was willing and ready to
answer her Masters call.
She professcd faith in Christ al
the age of thirteen and Joined Reel
foot Baptist Church, of which she
was a member at the time of heI
death.
She talked so pleasantly of passing
away and planned everything per-
tanning to the funeral. Misses nellie
Edna, Inez, Mary Caldwell, Fannie

Daniel and Georgia B. Caldwell act
ed as pail bearers.
Funeral services were conducted
by the pastor, Rev. Mayo, of Ores
den, and her body was laid to rest
under a mound of beautiful flowers
in Antioch Cemetery
The loss of such a character is
keenly felt, not only by the relatives
but by the entire community. Nclle

man, a Sumter county stockraiser, a
DuroctJersey pig which weighed41
pounds. She attended the pig carefully
herself, and on July 81, when the por-
ker again was weighed, he tipped the
scale at 271 pounds a gain OF 2Sl
pounds in four months and twelve day
This is good gain as seen from the
standpoint of mere pounds and ounces.
but viewed in dollars and cent. it is
really remarkable. If Miss Bradley
would sell her pig today, she could
readily secure 16 cent a pound, or
$4336 for the pOrker on foot. lf,how-
ever, she decided to dress the animal
first, the carcasswOuld then be worth
35 cents a pound in any butcher shop
here. and allowing 70 pounds for the
loss incurred in dressing, there would
still be enough pork left to bring in
$40. In addition, there would be big
bucket of gatherings and probably a

be saved at home and not sold to the
butcher at all. If there is any amateur
