"fr?? The Pagetoid Journal Janr II. 1914 Local News 'Mr. John McColl, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. McColl, who is traveling salesman for the International harvester company in three counties in South Carolina and four in North Carolina* was in town Sunday and Monday. He says Chesterfield county has the best crops he has seen anywnere, and that the prospect is brighter here than in any county he has been in. 'Fire destroyed Mr. J. L. Mcln*iis' ?aw mill, shingle mill, nearly fcOtfOO shingles and fifteen or Eighteen thousand feet of lumber on Tuesday night of last week about 10 o'clock. The mills are located on Mr. W. E. Courtney's land two miles west of town. Mr> Mclnnis had not been gone ftom the mill more than ahOlit 30 minutes when he discovered that it was on fire. Wfe always goes or sends someone to see that there is no fire to be seen before he retires. The fire seems to have started at the shingle mill and by the time help arrived on the scene noth- j ing could be done to save it. A _ Mi smaii amount ot lumber was saved. The machinery is badly damaged* but is not entirely ruined He estimates his loss at about $1,200.00. There was no insurance. The origin of the fire is not known. While Mr. James Rodgers, of Buford township, who has just recently returned from the United States army where he served out his enlistment, was m PageSand he had some fun by reason t>f the uniform he wore. He ap proached two or three negroes and began asking questions. He took their ages, height, weight, ^l^then told them that/the winy 'thouj^^Ky wduld do alright and flJRhey would soon be carriSi to Mexico. The negroes' PVM ri> n * * uvutuic ucauy Ull wnne and witl^tme accord they began to make excuses. Some said they wouldn't have to go for they lived over in Lancaster county, and one said, "I can't go I has fits." Mr. H. N. Askins swapped his 'possum dog to Mr. G. H. Watts for his bird dog one day last weeK and gave him seven dollars and a half to boot. Mr. Watts carried his rope to bring his dog j back, after he had been assured j by Mr. Askin that the dog was | perfectly harmless and that he would positively not bite a stranger. Very cautiously opening the door, a little at a time, speaking in the tenderest tones all the while, he began at last to see how dead that dog was and his state of mind underwent a very sudden change. Quickly he saw the joke and asked Roy Blakeney to go with him and carry Askins' blamed check back to him. In telling about it Mr. Watts said, "I wasn't darned fool enough to come right back through town. I came around and avoided Askins and his gang." Later in the day Mr. Watts traded the same dog to Mr. Frank Smith for a dollar's worth of locks. Mr. Smith took his rope and went in search of the dog. Lige Seegers had carried him off, but Mr. Smith went on to the field determined to have that dog. Lige told him the dog was down there in the swamp. Mr. Smith insisted that Lige call the dog but Lige thought he was trying to get a joke on him. Finally when the negro saw that Mr. Smith was in dead earnest, he began to laugh, and finally between chuckles he managed to|say, "Dat dog done dea-ad and buried in de swamp." The locks pre still Mr. Smith's property, Clarence, the 2-vear-old son o Mr. and Mrs. Sam Mangum, c the Evans Mill section, died las Thursday of diphtheria.
