MIG"
The other morning we walked into
Barlow's store and found Mig" the
Pioneer Cat of MOBILES county, mount
ed on the top Of the safe guarding the
money and papers from the insiduous
attacks of rats and mice. ''Nig' curv-
ed his spine and stretched himself, us
much rs to say, ''glad to see you!' We
chncked him under the chin and asked
him how he would like to see his name
in the ADVANCE. ''Nig' bowed his
head and rubbed his left ear on cur
vest, us much as to say, ''go in, old
porcupine, all right.''
mig" is the Pioneer Cat, it is said,
of Mobiles county. He was brought
here in the fall of 1871 by L. F. Nc.
Laurin and until few months ago,
stayed ut the corner building through
all the mutations aud changes of the
past eight or nine years. But when
the building became vacant, it got to
be pretty dull, and after some months
of coaxing, he was induced to take up
his residence at Barlow's store, where
lie prcsides over the rat and mice de-
partment with the skill and vlgor of an
expert. lie is always on duty, keeps
up his own end of the business, don't
run around after the girls ut night,
and makes friends with all customers
who will tickle him in the ribs or
chuck him under the chin. Long life
and plenty Of milk to old Mig
