LINCOLN

|
No symmetry Of face or form,
A SON of toll, with scant returns,
Your hardened hands, with earth
soil stained,
But in your breast ambition burns.
Tho skimped and worn, your homely
garb
Ill fitting over shoulders gaunt,
Your eyes looked ever futureward,
While graphing with wolves OF
want.
Brave pioneer, twas not in vain
To adverse winds you bent your
back,
Or strained your sight to knowledge
gain,
When means and ways you'd often
lack.
And when for heroes came the need,
You faltered not, or feared not
then,
But bore unfiinching sneers and
blame,
That tries the bravest, strongest
men.
You worthily wear a martyrs crown,
You're living on, and ever will;
An arrow sped, and found its mark
In your great heart, and it was
still.

COLORED MAN HAS FEET
FROZEN

Pedro Rice, a colored man well
known in this section, and whose
reputation is not of the best, was
taken to Union Hospital, Elkton, on
Tuesday, suffering with frozen feet,
gangrene having set in as result,
and it is probable both feet will
have to be amputated.
There are many stories in circula-
tion concerning the negro having
been shot, etc., but from what we
have been able to learn it seems Ped
had been sleeping in a barn, near
Colora, on the premises where he
was employed. About two weeks
ago he walked to his home in Mt.
Zoar, a negro settlement near Como
wingo, where he had since been in
bed suffering with his feet, which
he stated were chilled" A demi-
john that had contained home
made wine, was found in the, barn
where Ped had been sleeping, said
demijohn belonging to party other
than Ped, and which had been mis-
sing from its accustomed place in
the cellar of home in the neigh
borhood for about three weeks.
1t is evident that the colored man,
coming into possession of the demi-
john, proceeded to imbide the con-
tents, the outcome being that his
spree, during the severe weather
that prevailed, lasted until his feet
were frozen and he suffered other
wise through exposure.
Since the above was in type we
learn that both feet were ampu-
tated Bebw the knee.

STILL SHIPPING COWS

There was resumption of ship
ping of the condemned cattle last
week, Saturday eight cars, with
about 225 cows, were loaded in
Oxford and on Monday nine cars
with 260 head from the same place
On Tuesday, about two hundred
were shipped from Elkview and
about IS from Quarryville.
These cattle were shipped to diff
ferent markets over the country and
not few of the owners followed
them to the abattoirs to see them
killed. Almost to a. man they came
back thoroughly satisfied with the
result of the tuberclin test. Norman
Thompson, who waited to see his
family COW killed, the COW that he
thought was the cleanest in his
herd, found her so infected that she
had to be sent to the tank. Several
others Ahad the same experience.
No one who saw his cattle slaugh-
tered had anything but good to say
terrible spread of the disease and
enabled him to get rid of these in
fected animals.
Several of the rumors being cir
culated were given a quietus satur-
day, when the checks came from the
Abbott Company to the amount OF
fifteen dollars for each animal killed
Checks for the salvage were also
received and these were generally
up to the most liberal expectations
Chester Collins, of Coleraine, for in
stance, figured that his returns from
all sources would average over $86
for each cow and two OF his went
to the tank. There were other far
mers who Jared equally we'll and
it begins to look as though the milk
producers who have tested are
agreed that 1t is blessing to them
instead of the hardship which they
at first supposed it.-Oxford News.
