Rusty Scythe Tells Tale of Undying Love

An ante-bellum romance, with all
the gallantry of colonial days, the de-
mure and hoop-skirted miss of near
ly century ago and indolent life of
well-to-do farmers of the old south,
when there was little for the son of
the prosperous southernerS to do but
live and love, was unearthed a few
days ago.
Robert Earle was the hero of the
legend, mute evidence of whose I'M
dying devotion to his sweetheart was
discovered in huge oak on the west
Iern outskirts of Birmingham, Ala. 1t
is the blade of what appears to be
part of scythe. The tree during the
intervening years has so engulfed it,
however, that its exact identity is no
longer discernible.
Young Earle had just returned from
a northern college in the early part of
1861 and a party was being given him
on the eve of his leaving for service
with the army The polka, lancers and
other dances of the time were under
way in the big colonial house which
still stands. Young Earle sought out
the only girl" for a last little lovers
talk. They left the house and strolled
among the flowers of the Earle home.
A kindly moon finished the setting
and lilacs and roses lent the proper
scent to the scene.
Following telling of the age old
