Some Souvenirs. *
C
Wiu'e at Mr. L. E. Ilodge'a home j t
a few days ago nosing around to see t lie i a
xbmt of tjie damage done by the term le 1 j
strokes of lightning that struck his resi- ^
d-nco last Sunday, we noticed an old ..
model of a clock that was a curiosity, I
and we began making inquiries. It was
made entirely of wood, wheels and all,
and Mr. Hodge informed us that, it w. s
k-epiug good time until knocked top y
tnrvpy by the lightning. On the front (
of the clock are the figures 141)2. Of \
course this did not mean the clock wa?
made in 1492. but we can readily im tgine
that it is possibly a mo lei of the clock <
in use at that tiui". In marking tin
hours on the dial the ordinary tlguie-i am p
used instead of the Ilom-m characters ^
This clock was given to one of Mr. ^
Hodge's boys by a fiieud who got it i i 1
Paris twelve years ago. It was still in
running ordei when we saw it. Th i
regular weight which runs the clock
having got lost the bjy substituted a
beer bottle which answers the purpose to
p 'rfection. It is a novel sight to see the
clock ticking off the minutes with a beer
b ittle suspended by the ntck answering
for a clock weight.
Seing that we were interested in the e
things Mr. Hodge shuwed us a couple
more relics of by-, one days. In another
room"lie hits a tall, old fashioned clock
that h is a history. Tne clock lias the
old time scollop or half ino >n cut out at
the top of thefacs, with bronze columns
on either side of the front of the clock
It runs eigli' days and carries nine poind
weights. This is supposed to be one ot
the first clocks ever sold in this part <>:'
the State. It was sold 125 years ago by a
man named l'orter, the first clock peddlei
known in these parts, t> Mr. Ifrlly Ue d
for $05 Mr Iteid gave the clock to Ins "
daughter Katie, who married Mr. James 1 w
Tollison. Mrs. Tollison gave the clock ' t'
to her daughter, Nancy Toilison, I'roiu j
whom Mr. 1 lodge bought it'21 years ago !
It is an excellent time keeper yet. Hurler, '
the man who sold the clock to old man j f
Hilly lieid rem irked when he took Ins *
departure: "Mr. lleid, I will be back
in just one hundred years to sell you
another clock," meaning that the clock
was good for a century at least, and it
has so proven, and going well in another.
Mr. Hodge next showed us an old
book case, writing desk and bureau corn- I
biued, which originally belonged to Wd- |
lUm lteid. It is l.'tt) years old, is made
of black walnut and is in an excellent
state of preservation, and perfectly
intact, with the exceptiou of the leaf of ;
the writing desk, whicti^nas been taken t
off. It looks to be good for gt least i
another hundred years." The top part or j
hook has been detached and is being
used as a cupboaid by tbe family. It is
always interesting to us to iuii across
these old relics of former days, and 1
while we went to see about the lightning's
work we could not resist the temptatiou
of saying a word about these souvenirs.

Mr. Kl^io L. Johnstone, formerly 1

cotton seed speci ilist, and what he
ioe.sn't know about cotton seed ut d j
ho uses to which they can be put,

ays the climate is entirely different

IV e are sorry we did not see more of
