The Gazette His the Caudal Appendate ot the Real Little Animal In Its f gsseislon The Gilt of a Friend Who Sends U Direct From 'His Hoiship's Native Heath. As a weather prophet the groundhog has had . his reputa tion bitterly ajsailcd many times., notwithstanding which fact the little animal remains on this mundane sphere and re tains at least a small following who utvtt lail to uphold his claim as a weather barometer. The Gazette is a friend to his hogsbip and does not hesitate to cay so. It was doubtless knowledge of this fact that prompted our good friend, Mr. Jack Brackett, of Caroleen, to send us the other day the tail of a groundhog which he secured in the little animal's home terri tory. In some sections there are those who even go so far as express the belief that the groundhog is hut a myth, an idle dream. All such are cor dially invited to come to The Gazette office and take a look at the portion of Mr. Groundhog's anatomy which is kept carefully stowed away in a strong box in this shop. Accompanying the valued gilt was a most interesting letter which is reprinted below. It is as follows: Caraleen, N. C, July 29. ro the Editor of the Qaiette: Having just returned from a trip to the mountains, I will write you a few lines and am sending you herewith a ground hog's tail. We have been hav ing all kinds ot weather here since I captured the groundhog. It is quite cool now but we don't know what sort of weather to look for next, for we have no groundhog to rule the weather; or at least if we have him at all he has no tail and we don't be lieve he can do very much with the weather any more. I and my brother, Harry Brackett, went to spend a few days in the mountains and cap- tured the little animal near the too of Ben's Knob, or at least we got his tail. We didn't kill any bears but we had a good time nevertheless. We ran into ever so many little plants where the "snake bite juice" had been manufactured years ago, but we could not find one in operation at present. It is strange, too, that the snakes have all dieil out since the remedy for their bite has played out. While on this trip I visited the Raven Rock, No Business Mountains, the Shades of Death and Bear Knob Mountain. Wishing The Gazette continued success, I remain Very Respectlully, Jack Brackett. - The Mclver Loan Fund. Correspondence of Th Gazette.
