VIRGINIA LADY HAS
DUCKS 16 YEARS OLD

From Greenbackville comes the fol-

1924 a friend gave my little girl,
(she was just one year old), some
duck eggs, six of them. They were
English Quacker duck eggs and four
of them Matched. We still have two
of these ducks which are now sixteen
years old.
/ also have a wild black duck
which we have had about the same
length of time and it was caught in
the ducking season of the same year
My father, H. w. Mason, while in
the bay at Franklin City at work,
picked it out of the water after it
had been shot. He took it home and
cared for it until it was completely
well again. It has never tried to fly
away, but seems perfectly satisfied
in the pen with the other ducks.
The ducks lay in the spring almost
as we'll as when they were young
There has been no especial care TAX
en- of them but we prize them high

NELSONIA LADY GETS
$50 FOR BURNT MONEY

Mrs. Broaddus Young, of Nelsonia,
is a wiser and happier woman now
than she was about ten days ago.
Saturday night, February 1, she had
500 in paper money in her hands
four ten dollar notes and one twenty.
She was in the act of putting some
scraps of paper in coal fire, when
she dropped the paper money in the
fire too. The flames were breaking
through the coal. When she realized
what she had done, a sister standing
nearby with gloves on reached in the
stove and pulled out the paper money,
which was about two-thirds consum-
ed and the ashes of the other two
thirds.
Thursday of last week, an affidavit
was made of what happened to the
money and the charred part and the
one-third not burned were put in a
package and sent to the Treasury
Department in Washington, D. G.
Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Young re-
ceived a check from the department
for the $50.
