A few nights ago Mrs. Mandy
Barnhardt, who lives near Mt.
Gilead cnurch, woke up and
smelled something burning. She
searched her room but found
nothing and went back to bed
still smelling it. She thought of
having laid a box of matches on
the bed iri the other room. She

went in there and found that the
rats had cut a hole in the box,
causing trie fire, which caught
and burned the bed considerably.
On last Monday while Mr. O
Suther Was ploughing along he
noticed a jdry land terrapin. , Old
looking as it was, he picked it up
and found the initials of one of
his sisters "M. V. S.n and another
name, the initials being "C. fll

i
the second old terrapin he has
found. jThe other one had the
name'of his brother who died in he
Confederate war on it. Both were
on his father's farm not more than
four hundred yards apart where
he and his sisters and brothers
played when children.
