SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD HEN
STILL LIVELY MOTHER.
Knoxville, Tenn. —Albert But
ler, living two miles south of
Jonesboro, has a 16-year-old hen
that hatched three broods of
chickens last year, and is now
strong and vigorous.
The hen was a pet of Mrs.
Butler’s sister, who died 12 years
ago. The sister had possessed
the hen for four years. Thus is
the hen’s age assured.
The hen has been spared the fate
of others because it was so nauch
loved by the dead woman.

Men are like hens, the harder

HELP THE FARMERS WORK
ON THE PUBLIC ROADS.
The Dillon (S. C.) Herald sug
gests that in order to get the
roads in that county in good con- j
dition the county commissioners
set apart one day as a "good
roads day” and for every able
bodied man in the county to turn
out on that day and work the
roads make a general holiday of j
it, all banks, stores, and business
enterprises of all kinds, and
schools, to shut down for the
day. ln[this way it thinks that
the roads, which in
very bad condition on account of
the recent rains and snow, can
be put in good condition, and
only in this way. The Herald
says there are lots of follows sit
ting back in comfortable oifices
who have not forgotten how to
ues hoes, axes and things and
that a day of work on the roads
would do them gor'd. How about
falling upon the roads of Robe
son county for one day in that
way? It would m> doubt bring
about a mighty change for
the better in the condition of the
roads, and it would be worth the
price to see some of these stall fed
office boys hitting it up for a
day’s work "on their man.”
Arid wouldn’t there be some sore
fellows next day! That would
not matter, though, if it would
give the farmers good roads to
haul over.—Lumberton (N. C.)
