LArIMER MILLS DOTS.

The people above here on the Cherokee and
Cobb lines are considerably excited about mad
dogs Some time ago the dog OF Mrs. Pope,
who lives few miles from here went mad. lie
Immediately left home aud wandered around
tor several days and bit every dog that came in
his wav He was al last killed, but not before
a great deal Of mischief had been done. Some
of he people with prdnptness that Is truly
commendable killed th"ir dogs Immediately at
ter thew were bitten. Others are keeping their
dogs confiu+tl and will wait nine days to see if
thew will 90 mad it is hoped, however, that
all ,1og4 which are mad will be- Immediately
killed FOR il is impossible to tell the exact hour
AT which they will go mad. and Indeed it would
be- better for an individual to triiie with the
venomous cobra de capello than to lamper with
one of these terrible creatures. 1t is necessary
in order to check the evil in its lnciplency, tor
all stray dogs to be shot down without any GER
emony If this is done, but little danger need
be apprehended.
Webaye no mad dogs in our ueighborhOod
vet If a stray canine should put in appearance
in our midst he would undoubtedly fare badly
So much talk of mad dogs reminds your corre-
spondent of the spring, of AZ. hope that the
the excitement will not last as long as 1t did
then.
The farmers of this section are very busy
planting corn and preparing the ground sior
this years crop OF cotton. There is great
deal of this staple being planted, it seems that
a large area will be planted this year than last

The Modern Shootist.

A man who belonged to village rife
team was recently out on the plains of
Wyoming Territory looking for game.
Finally the party sighted an elk at SOC
yards, and prepared to shoot him. He
was a noble buck. The member of the
rifle team put blanket down among the
sage brush and artistically placed him
self upon his back, with his left arm like
figure two, supporting his neck, and
his right arm, like a figure seven, sup.
porting the aft end of the rifle. The
measure of the wind was taken, and the
sights were scientifically adjusted, while
the expert made figure eight with his
legs and rested the rifles bow between
the toes of his shoes. The measure OF
his forefnger was now taken by patent
machine, and the trigger was filed of
slightly on the near side, in order tc
be adjusted to the weight Of the finger
Two men were then sent out to put flags
on each side of the elk to show tho
bounds outside which the rifle teamstel
was not to fire; but the elk thought he
had waited long enough, and ran away
