Pigeon Koost Iveivs Faithful Fox Dog Is Lost; Is Found Tangled In Chains BY HARVEY J. MILLER Rt. 1, Relief N. C. Holden L. Edwards an old timey fox hunter of the Brum metts Creek section went fox hunting Saturday, Nov. 5th, with his well trained fox hounds in the Pigeon Roost section and reported that he turned his dogs loose at the place known as the Columbus Hughes hollow. The dogs soon struck a hot foxes track and they went on its trail far back in the moun tains. The dogs kept on chas ing the fox away up in the early morning hours and his dogs all returned back to him but one dog which is his old est dog and he waited and waited on her but had to go on home without her. Mr. Edwards is teacher at Tipton Hill School and Dan ny Gouge of Pigeon Roost a student of Tipton Hill High School and when the dog show ed up at Gouges home Satur day afternoon he tied the dog to keep it for Mr. Edwards but the dog got loose with the two dog chains fastened to its col lar and its tracks could be seen that it had went back in to the mountains. When Gouge reported the news to Edwards about the dog getting away with the dog chains he seen two other high school boys of the Brummetts Creek section Jerry and Teddy i Miller and offered them $5.00 apiece if they would find his dog. So the Miller boys after school was out Monday they went to hunt for the lost dog. Mr. Edwards took them to the hollow on Pigeon Roost where he started the dogs out hunt ing Saturday. The boys went clear up that hollow and crossed the moun tain over in the hollow known as the Don Barnett place and just through sheer luck Mr. Edwards said the boys told him that they first heard the dog whining and they hunted and hunted through the briars and underbrush for a long time before they discovered her. Here is the way Mr. Ed wards said the boys reported of finding the dog. (Teddy said look over there on the hill is that a black stump, no Jerry said that is a dog. I see him wagging its tail.) They run over on the hill to the dog and found that it had got the two chains fastened in two bushes and there she was to stay and starve to death unless someone found her. The boys led the dog out of the mountain area with one of the chains and stopped to the nearest house on Pigeon Roost who had a telephone and call ed Mr. Edwards to come and get them that they had found his dog. Mr. Edwards said that he gladly paid them the reward money to the boys for finding his dog which sure would have died in the mountains if it had not been found. The dog was found on the route leading across the moun tain towards home and Mr. Edwards said the dog knowed all the mountains good around about here and could not easily get lost. There is much tobacco be ing graded in this area at this time, which the farmers are trying to get their tobacco ready to place on the ware house floor to be sold in the first sales. There is several large hogs in this area ready to be slaughtered when the weather gets cold enough the farmers report. Only one fanner re ported to the writer that he killed his hog last Monday, Nov. 17th, that he estimated it to weigh around 500 pounds. There has been no frosty mornings here since then which has been bad weather to cure out meat to keep good which has been so much rain and warm days since then. One farmer reported that he would rather for it to only come a frost after he killed his hog than to come a big snow. Several farmers here are al ready buying their pigs to keep over for another year. New Rules For Paying Medicare Doctor Bills A new procedure will facili tate reimbursement under Medicare for doctor bills paid by or on behalf of a Medicare beneficiary who dies, Don W. Marsh. Social Security District Manager, announced today. The simplified procedure, Marsh said, will make it un necessary for widows, widow ers, or other relatives to ar range for the appointment of a legal representative of a Medicare beneficiary’s estate simply to collect a Medicare payment. In some cases, he said, the legal costs would equal or even exceed the amount of the reimbursement under Medicare. The Social Security District Manager said that where there is no legal representative of the beneficiary’s estate, and where none is expected to be appointed, Medicare will make payment to a surviving widow, widower, or other relatives. I The tobacco plant seen here symbolizes an important fac tor in our economy. The Belk’s name and Belk’s own exclusive brand names symbo lize the role of merchandising leadership that has been Belk’s for three-quarters of a century. All of these are Belk’s own exclusive brands made for and sold by Belk’s and Belk’s only. Ask for these brands when you shop—always high est in quality.
