The Buffalo Record tells Of giant
sycamore tree recently fellcd in Dali
las county which produced 1928 feet
from nineteen of the twenty-one logs
into which the tree was first cut. The
ether two logs are yet 20 ne sawed.
The most remarkable part of this
story is that the man whose sawmill
did the work got only S54 for the job.
Peach growers all over the peach
countrv of the 0zarl: regiol are feel
ing jubilant these days over the fine
prospects for record breaking crop
q frui. this year. Nsyer before have
the peach buds at this time of the
year been in such splsndid condition.
The trees are filled with buds which
ere still dormant, and will stand zero
weather, growers claim. Howell

Here is good way to dispose of
that old suit or coat that has been oc-
cupying valuable closet Space for
some time. The American Red Cross
has undertaken to collect 10000 tons
of clothing for the needy people of
Europe, who have been made desti-
tute by the war. What disposition
could you possibly make of such clo-
thing that would bring you so much
satisfaction as to add it to- the Red
Cross collection.
Some of the boys have been at
tempting to put on "ghost scare" in
Pennington. This prank was doubt
less suggested by the apparent "suc-
css" that has attendpdsa similar ex-
plot in Bonnie ferre recently. The
perpetrators are liable to discover
that such "fun' is likely to prove ex-
pensivc to them. The "ghost" is La
bic to make it's appearance before
someone who will take shot at "it",
and turn the "joke" into \ funeral,
OF at least period in tine hospital.

Do not forget the Community Sale

ton tomorrow. This sale has been
widely advertised, and there will
doubtless be many in attendance,
from all parts of the county, as well
as from adjoining counties. There
is already at hand considerable prop
crty to be sold, which will doubtless
be largely added to by the time the
crowds arrive here Saturday. If you
are in need Of anything, from a rattle
to an elephant, the chances will be
good for you to secure it at, this sale.
1t appeared that last Saturday
would usher in a spell Of real winter
weather, as snow fell thick during a
large part of the day, occasionally di-
niinishing in speed and sometimes
stopping entirely. But the conditions
nder which this storm was staged in
dicated that solid weather would soon
be here, as the wind was from the
north throughout the day. But the
weather failed to turn materially cold
er, and the snow molte practically as
as il fell. Another strange thing
about the storm was th;s large amount
of thunder and lightning, which is
rather unusual in a snow storm. In
fact Saturdays demcanor was entire
ly new and strange, il the breaking
up of winter that has in reality pro-
duced very little winter weather.
