Willett, whose farm must next be crossed. It is understood that Mr. Willett is willing to have the road run through one side of his farm, near to and parallel with the Santa Fe track, but the most desirable route selected by the company runs right in front of his door, and naturally enough Mr. Willett, to use an every day expression, is "kicking like a bay steer." He thinks railroads are all right in their place. They are a good thing and handy to have around a farm, but he don't care about any of them in the front parlor, nor even in his front yard that is not the place.

Special. One of the greatest physical curiosities of the age has been found in Laurens County. Darwin's missing link has been discovered. The fact that a boy, now over twelve years of age, still wears dresses, has long excited the curiosity of the Darrah community, in Laurens County. His parents explained this by saying that he was deformed and could not wear ordinary trousers.

The boy runs and jumps as well as other children, and shows no signs of deformity. The mystery has been solved by a physician who recently attended him while he had fever. He says that the boy's backbone is prolonged into a tail about eight inches in length, and that it is covered with a thick growth of hair. The tail wags just like a dog's. His parents made several attempts to make the boy wear trousers, but whenever the caudal appendage is bent to one side it pains him.

The boy is active and in perfect health. A Thing Much Better Left Unsaid. Good Cheer.
