H, B. Graves says his small
?n, Wilson, went to his rabbit
>x Saturday morning, pulled
it a rabbit and killed it, and
en as he straightened up he
w two big 'possums coming
ward nim. He forgot the rabt
in his eagerness to catch a
ossum, which he succeeded in
ling in short order. The secid
animal of the slick tail spees
went up a tree. Wilson
iirried to the house for an axe
id re-enforcements, and soon
ad the second 'possum. Just
link about catching two 'posims
and a rabbit so easily. At
le time Henry told us about it,
e said they had all of the three
repared for Sunday. Now, if
ay one doubts the truth of this
ory, let him go to Henry
raves, who happens to be fightig
editor of this sheet.
The Marshville Home reprinti
an article from this paper last
reek about the change of mancement
of The Home. In the
rticle was a reference to the
ays when this writer read "Our
lome" while resting m the
lade on hot summer days, and
'hen the article was reprinted
le following was printed below
1 parenthesis:
"We don't think Carl meant
> convey the impression that he
idn't sit in the shade at any
me except at noon."
Well, we'll acknowledge that
lere might have been just a
iw times when we felt it necesiry
to crawl into a friendly
lade. But we have no recol;ction
of having fallen asleep
rhile on duty.
In connection with this we
rould like to enquire of Friend
Ireen whether or not he fell
sleep and tumbled out of his
hair during school hours one
ay when he was teaching at
fnion school back in the olden
ays, as has been reported from
me to time. ~ ' 1
Back in the early part of 1898
'hen there was trouble between
te United States and Spain and
demand for volunteers for mil
ary service, the call was heard
y a number of voung men at
'hpQlPrfiolfl Vn nnliL-linir
i i W VIlllOUll^ Will"
er was handv so they agreed to
dre the governor and find out
diether or not their services
'ould be acceptable. D. P.
Douglass, who is now sheriff,
dred the governor, and back
ame the message, "Come on,
nd bring all you can get."
The prompt reply and the
'ording indicated that there was
ghting to be done. There were
ight or ten of the boys, includ
W. J. Tiller, and they
?reed to meet at the court house
t 1 o'clock and ride in a bus to
