And So To Bed

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Row
R1venbark, who lives on the
Castle Hayne road, went into
his backyard with his rifle
and shot a chicken in the neck
for dinner.
Dead chickens are notorious
for the work it takes to pluck
them, but the feathers of this
one come off like a wig.
1t seems, according to Mrs.
Rivenbark, that If you shoot or
stab a chicken at a special
place in the neck certain nerves
are activated which cause the
feathers to fall off like stuffinp
out of a ripped pillow.
Mr.. Rivenbark will probably
get his "Sharpshooter's' medal
in short order-when his draft
