Starting time for all games is 7:30 p. m. Midnight (continued irom page one) ting worse. Those were the days when malaria was rampant over the South and doctors were few and far off sometimes. This par ticular night my father was away and there were only three of us in this room where these sounds were made. My mother, my sick sister, end myself. It might have been about mid night when suddenly a tapping sound came from directly uider the bed where the sick girl lay.

When this tapping sound I stopped, my mother asked me if j I heard it. I noticed she was up set very much. I certainly had heard those sounds and told her so. While she was talking to me and won dering, it started again! Tap, tap. tap! with about one second o? time between each tap. This time, too, it sounded about a dozen times and stopped. My mother was vis ibly alarmed and didn't fail to say as much. "What can it be?" she asked. Of course, being a mere boy, I was frightened and so I could offer no solution. My sister was moving on the bed in a restless manner. My mother was trying to adjust the covers about her and in other ways trying to minister to her comfort. Then it same again for the third time with the same rhythmic, tap ping, only this time more loud and distinct than before. Tao! tap! tap! tap! directly from under the bed where we all lay! My mother, who could stand it no longer arose from the bed, took a small lamp, looked under the *bed and about the room, but there was no sound nor was there anything under the bed from which a sound could be made. No Sleep That Night By this time I was very seared and mother was so upset that she didn't sleep at all that night, nor did I. But that was the last we heard any sound. Three times it had sounded with about four or five minutes in between. Now what made those sounds? Really, I don't know. The little girl, my sister, rapidly became worse, and in a few days left us forever. Were those sounds coming from beyond earthly horizons to ac quaint us with the grim fact that the Reaper was near? Was there some message from the Beyond being tapped out by a spiritual, telegrapher trying to inform us that Victoria (that was my sister's | name) would soon be taken to that heavenly realm where there is no more pain? Whatever the answer, I will say that my mother believed it was a message to that effect. Many, | many times I heard her tell this For Service LOFITO MOTOR CO.

I am an old man now for that happened 55 or more years ago, but I recall it as if it happened yesterday. I So I ask again, whence came these tapping sounds of the mid I night hour? There was no live thing in that room that night, of 1 that I am sure. There is not any one that could have made those noises. You think it might have been a cat or dog? There was no cat or dog in the room. The oth er children were upstairs and asleep. They knew nothing of it until the next day. These tapping sounds were in the room. Wherev er they originated, they were right in the room with us. All these years have passed with | no solution. You ask me if I be lieve in tokens of things to come? Well, hardly. Yet I claim there are some things (hat are hard to solve. Fisheries (Continued from page one) ponds on the weather mostly and whenever we have warm weather north it affects our market.

"The oyster shells we planted last spring have had a good set some of them have oysters on them that will pass the three inch cull law.
