Y. McGee, resident of the Wlnnabow section, was a visitor Monday morning at The State Port Pilot office and brought word that his famous sorrel mare was dead. In fact this remarkable animal, which would have been 51-years of age this year, died last fall after serving her master faithfully for two score and ten years. Mr. McGee moved his family to Brunswick county from Wake county nearly twenty years ago and he brought the mare with him. She was a heavy draft animal, and during the later years of her life was noticably swayback. "But that did not hurt her none," her owner assured us, "and it took a good man to keep up with her last year when she was plowing." __ /'In the earlx &U si* got ?! - .OT jj HED EVERY WEDNESDAY Legnth | j .
