From a farm that produc ed a sledload of white-top for feed a few years ago, he now has plenty of feed for five or six head of horses, and other stock in pro portion. A few years ago it was predict ed that this decade would see the end of the horse. It was to be thcown in the discard with the other relics of a wasteful p.iid in efficient age. The motor vehicle was going to crowd old Dobbin out To-day there are more horses in the United States than ever before and they are better ones. We have added 400,000 to the horse population in the ast two vears but it is possible that this number will be reduced by the European embroglio, which may take over as many as we have gained, but we will have the money.

Clifford Lininger is the name of the boy that is making him self generally useful in the Rack et store, and, like all other good boys, he goes to Sunday school. On a Sunday morning recently, as he was on his way to Sunday school, his eye caught sight of something shining in the leaves by the sidewalk in front of the ulton House, and upon picking it up, found that he had in his hand, a splendid gold watch. He kept a lookout for the owner. When the Fulton County News came out the following week, it contained an advertisement in the Lost and Found column, stating that a watch had been lost, and gave directions for its return. Clifford promptly sent the watch to its owner, who happened to be an automobile tourist and was rewarded by receiving a crisp five-dollar bill. Rexroth's Have Moved.

Harry Irwin, traveling foreign salesman for the Landis Tool Company of Waynesboro, was home over Saturday night with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A Irwin, and on Sunday the latter accompanied him on his way to Washington as far as Ilagers town. At Washington Harry re ceived his passport, and sailed on the good ship Lapland yester day for London. Harry's regu lar territory is Germany, but ow ing to war conditions in that country, he will cover England, Scotland, and Ireland until the situation in Germany will war rant his going there. At the present rate of conscript in the countries now at war, there will be many workmen left to run European factories, and Americans will be called upon to supply most manufactured ar ticles needed there until the war ends and business resumes nor mal conditions. We feel sure that Harry will have good trade abroad. FORT LITTLbTON. Mrs Carrie Alexander, of Dry Run, spent last week with her brother, Claries Fields, and oth er friends here.
