Makes a ‘‘Cat Hole'' at Top of the Door anil Puts the Hutton on Wrong Side, Ooe of our old citizens, 5t ap pears, has not >et recovered from the effects of too much Christmas turkey aud other festive refrt: hments, or else he is losing his mind or in some other unaccountable way he has be come “non compis mentis.’’ He suddenly conceived the idea that it would*be necessary to saw out a hole in a door in his house through which the midgnignt feline serenaders could come and go at their own sweet wifi. Acting upon this impulse he at once procured a screw driver, saw, auger, hatchet and other tools and “Bowser like,” without consulting with his better-half, proceeded to take the door down and after consid erable mental and physical labor he succeeded in making an opening in a panel of the door large enough to ac commodate a large sized “Thomas.” But in his proud haste be forgot to provide a small opening for the kit tens. Having finished his labors he hastily rehung the door, and in order to keep it safely fastened, he next fashioned a wooden button and im mediately adjusted it on to the door strutter. Feeling proud of his mechanical genius he called to Mrs. to come in and inspect his work. She at once exclaimed: “Why, you have made the cat hole at the top of the door and put the button on the wrong side I” Somewhat crestfallen he admitted his mistake and promised to do better next time. Luckily for him just at this time a neighbor passing saw the situation and kindly offered to make him a present of a lot of high jumping cats he had on hand, so that nis labors are not entirely in vain.

There was until a few days ago a dwelling house in Cherokee county the building of which antidated the knowledge or traditions in the posses sion of *he oldest citizens. It was situated on the John G. Gaffney farm on Broad river, at Gaffney’s ferry. Tradition leaves it plain that it was built before the war of the Revolu tion and tradition and history prove that it was occupied during the war by a widow lady, Mrs. Tate, who was in good circumstances at which time the ferry was known as Tate’s ferry. Mrs. Tate lived in it til! several years after the war when she sold it to a Virginian by ‘the name of Thomas O'Heer who owned and lived in the house for a number of years when the ferry was known as O’Deer ferry, and then traded it to one Abner Ben son who afterwards sold the property to Michael Gaffney, who with some of ids sons, has owned the property for o little ovnr a hundred years. This old house, unlike most houses of its time, was ajframed one made of very heavy timbers, mortised and pinned together and well weather- boarded and ceiled with plank which had been well dressed on one side and hewed on the other. The nails used were hand made. The chim ney was of first-class brick, was made on the inside of the building and hud very large fireplaces. This old house was in a good state of preservation and from what we can learn has been occupied all the time of its long existence. This property was recently sold for partition and Mr. T. G. McCraw bought the “old house place.” He has moved it to* another site and will j remodel it and use it as a burn. Because of its antiquity, many re- ' gret this disposition of the old house, i' but the old must give place to tlie I new, and this old Revolutionary reli.o j has been no exopp^ion to the rule l>r.
