According to The Red Hook, the pied-billed glebe js also known as the “Wa ter witch” and “Hell-diver.’' It is it splendid swimmer, diving and swimming under water when pur sired. Each toe has one or more separtc mcmibranes which are joined ,,n. at the base. The bill, which is cone-shaped, is about the length of the head. The wings are shot; and the tail is invisible. The plumage is compact, smooth, and rather hair like The color above is brownish-black; below, lighter brown and white. The ci own back of the head and neck is grayish black streaked with lighter gray. This bird as a young one, since the length when full grown is thirteen inches. Their nest consist of a floating struc ture of dead grass, reeds, mud, and vegetable matter, unattach ed or -fastened to living rushes. The eggs, usually six in number, are while or tinged with green. On leaving the nest the grebe pulls the water-soaked material over the eggs so that they are hidden.

Magness, he first editor and originator >f the Cherryville Kagle. The rticle was taken from an Kagle uted August 19, 190k, 35 years go an<l the paper was i'urnishec. 'i us by Mrs. J. P. .Austell ol , elbv and a sister of the de Tile copy was written by hi astor, A C. Swofiord. pastor o. 1 • Methodist church here at that After Mr. Magness' Heath tlu paper was sold to the late I. li. .). The account follows: h' is indeed difficult to think of brother Ala:.gees as being ..cad. One so promising in life for Christian usefulness. One whose life was so coilsetiated and de voted to his family, his friends and his church. We can scarcely eali/.e the fact he is gone. In thinking- of the splendid Christian man which he was, we cannot express our estimate ot him in words. lire. Alagness, as I knew him. was a Christian. No more than that can be said of any one. lit was a pillar to the church at tin lime of his death being a steward secretary of the Sunday Schoo and also secretary and Treasure of the building committee of th Parsonage, lie was always faith ful to duty. 1 knew him a little less than a year. Hut I knew bin not as a stranger but as a broth . or. He was always cheerful an.. I patient. Despondency had no ! place in his character. first illness during the early sum mcr, and in all his suffering he did not once murmur or complain but was always hopeful and sul missive. In his last illness I was onl. permitted to see him once (as th nurse thought not best to admi anyone) then he said he wouh like to see me. So I spoke to him, ask him how he was getting along and he answered that "he was not getting on very well and that lie did not think he would get well,” and with a smile on his face he said. “If 1 don’t, it is alright God knows best.” 1 saw in his face that Christian joy anti Hard, how hard it is to bear the loss of such a friend and brother. But our loss is his eter nal gain. We would not for one moment call him back from that life of peace and quietude he now njoys to this sinful world. He cannot come back to us, we can go where he is. To the bereaved, we would commend you to the Christ who is the only consolation for the sorrowing. Bereaved, 1 sorrow with you, 1 mourn with you. May the grace of God sustain you. The Methodist Church has lost one of its strongest members, the town of Cherryville one of its best citizens, and his family has lost an ideal husband and father. But as stated above our loss is his eternal gain. Peace be to his ashes. Hia Pastor, A. C. SWOFFORD.
