THAT LUCKY RABBITS FOOT
Must Be Procured Only Under Certain
Circumstances if the Charm
Is to Have Power.

You have undoubtedly heard about
wearing a rabbits foot for luck. Do
you know what is the significance of
it, where it is to be carried, and why
it is lucky? Well, here it is:
"The rabbits foot is esteemed a
powerful talisman to bring good for
tune to the earer and protect him
from all dangers" says an authority.
GAS this belief is more or less common
throughout the South it may be well
to state how the charm is prepared,
for the benefit Of those who wish to
be put on the royal road to health,
wealth and prosperity.
ut must be the left hind foot of a
graveyard rabbit, and that is one
caught in a graveyard, although one
captured under the gallows would
probably answer as well. 1t must be
taken at the midnight hour and the
foot ampntated. The foot must then
be carried secretly in the pocket until
by chance the owner happens upon a
hollow stump in which water has col
lected from recent rains. The foot is
then dipped three times into this wa
ter and the charm is complete.
among the negroes and unedu-
Gated whites of the South the reputed
possessor of this potent talisman is at
once feared and respected"

The mid winter fair Of Eangdon

When a community, state or
nation needs some change in tae
rules or laws that they live by the
people are always divided. Some will
retain the old laws, while others will

are either styled as boosters. or
knockers and critics, according to the
