TWO _ POLE CATS STILL KILLING POULTRY CURRIE. April 11.—Lower Bla 1 en county, around the Colly section thought it carried the banner for pole cat or skunk stories, but from just across the line a mile or so comes the most thrilling one of the aeason. Mrs. R. S. Hilbum had purchased 150 high priced, hybred baby chicks and with a good supply of starting mash, the tital bill was running quite high. The fine, husky little chicks were all lined up in their new quarters. The next morning Mrs. Hilbum went early to care for them and found every thing just right. But the second morning when she made her call, she was almost paralzed and speechless at what she saw. Every one of her chicks were gone. As soon as she found strength to return to the house, she reported the startling news to the family. The fighting blood in the men folks was immediately aroused and they made haste to the scene of destruction. Two holes were found where the intruders entered the brooder house. Lanyard, Mrs. Hilburn’s young est son who was at home, and Donald Hall, a cousin close by, took the matter in hand, assiste 1 by the older head. They began to hunt the near by out buildings, all about, in and out and finally found the dead chicks all in a pile under the floor of an out building. There were 135 dead ones and the other part of the 150 were supposed to have been de voured by what-so-ever animal that did the destruction. That night, Lanyard and Donald set traps all around the brooder house, inside and out. Next morn ing the two young fellows arose before day light and with rifles and clubs cautiously made their way to the brooder house. The sight and odor that met their eyes and noses will long be re membered by them. The largest pole cat that this section, has any record of and the largest wood rat OPENS NEW STORE Mr. William P.

And Donald had in his mind a fine lot of young chicks on the way. Not only were Mrs. Hilburn’s chicks lost but her mash, which she had stored in the brooder house, was a complete ruin. But friend husband came to the rescue and told her that he would rebuild the brooder house, place a cement floor, buy her another bunch of fine baby chicks; so fried chicken dinners at the Hilburn home are still in prospect.
