Curiosities of PopuIous Isle.

A remarkable case of overpopulation
is that of the island of Bukara, in
Victoria Nyanza, described by III. L.
Duke in. the Cornhill Magazine.
This island, with an area of SO square
miles, much of which is bare granite,
though isolated from the rest of the
world, supports a population of 49,
600, The small garden plots are care
fully marked off and rights of own
ership are rigidIy observed Trees are
valued more than the land on which
they grow. In some cases one man
owns the trees and another the ground.
A man must not steal his neighbours
leaves; sticks and rubbish. A father
may even divide tree among his chill
dren. allotting certain branches to
each. -

Microscopic Infants.

A tiny baby was born at Ilford eng
land), recently. At birth it weighed
two and one-half pounds and gained
three ounces in a little more than
three weeks. Perfectly formed, the
baby gives promise of growing into
healthy child. This is not rec
ord, however. In 1924 Sir Everard
Home described baby which weighed
just one pound at birth and lived to
be nine years old when it measured
p inches in height. In 1896 a baby
was born in a Philadelphia hospital
which weighed one and three-quarter
pounds.

A Vermont Society in Florida

The DeLand, Florida, News, of March
10Th publishes long and interesting &C.
count of the annual union and picnic of
the Vermont Society of that place, which
has a membership of about 200. Over $50
Vermouters we're present at the picnic and
81 towns we're represented. Those present
from Hyde Park were Mr.. and Mrs. F. M.
Culver and Mrs. H. c. Fisk. The event
took place March 18th and the News says
of it,
The largest attendance the Vermont So
ciety has ever had at its yearly gather
ings in Volus;a County was recorded
Thursday at the annual picnic at Blue
Lake, DeLand. 1t was probably the big
gest Vermont party ever staged in tn
state o. Florida. There were over $50
persons present, all but dozen of whom
were accepted Vermonters by birth or by
former or present residence. The secre-
tary of the Society has record of some rs
other Vermonters in Volusia County who
were DOT present, which would lead to the
serni-otcial estimate that there are over
200 sens and daughters of the Green Min. |
state who are residents in this one county
of Florida this season. 1t is still the ehal-
ienge that Vermont is the best represt nted
of any state in the Union in this county,
considering its size.
The scene at the picnic was very
pretty one. Mr.. and Mrs. W. A. Druck-
er, owners of the twenty-acre tract which
was formerly an amusement park at Blue !
Lake, were at one time residents of Stowe,
VT, and they practically acted as hosts to
the big gathering. They extended to their
guests the free use of the big pavilion
where the picnic was held, and all the
other conveniences of the grounds.

Death of MIR. N. L. Brunson.

Monday night about 1880 o'clock
Mr.. N. L. Brunson died at his home
in Edgefeld, after lingering illness
extending over period of 6 months.
For the past four months he has been
confined to his home and much of the
time to his bed. He was great suf-
ferer but made strong fight against
the dread disease that seized him
nearly a year ago. Although stead
lily growing weaker as the months
and weeks passed, he was hopeful
to within the last week that he would
recover.
Mr.. Brunson was in his 10th year
at the time of his death, having CIV
en- four years of his life to gallant
service in the Confederate army and
having borne we'll his part in the
stormy days of reconstruction. At the
time of his death he was magistrate
at Edgefeld, having served the people
in that capacity for about 10 years.
Mr.. Brunson was a member of the
Baptist church, from which the fu-
neral was conducted Tuesday after
noon by Rev. G. W. M. Taylor. Mrs.
Brunson and their only daughter,
Miss Genie Brunson, died about ten
years ago, and his last resting place
is beside their graves in our village
cemetery.
During his long illness Mr.. Brun-
son was increasingly ministered to by
his niece, Miss Kellah Fair, and
nephew, Mr.. D. D. Brunson. They
gratifed every wish and gave them
selves unselfishly, both night and day.,
to contributing to his comfort. Rare
ly, if ever, does one see such beauti-
full and unselfsh service so nobly rem
dered. Although the long months of
nursing made inroads upon their
strength, neither of them relaxed in
their vigilance, being faithful to the
end.

Miss Sophie Dobson Entertains
II. D.

The June meeting of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy was
held Tuesday afternoon at "Fair-
view," the most attractive suburban
home of Miss Sophie Dobson, fifteen
members being present.
The spacious veranda, willow fur
niture, crex rugs, handsome potted
plants and bowls of cut flowers made
charming scene for the gathering,
which was called to order by the
president, Mrs. Jeff Wright, with all
the members rising to repeat the
Lords prayer in unison.
The president read several letters
expressing the appreciation of Off
GERS and chapters for the pleasant
day enjoyed in Edgefeld on the oc-
casion of the recent district con-
ference.
A card from the State Historian,
Miss Zena Payne, was read begging
the chapters to consider entering pa
pers on the many contests open to
the u. D. C. She referred to the many
excellent libraries in Edgefeld where
all needed information could so eas-
