Mr.. Tom Davis, living on Carol
Parks farm, near Irving College killed
mad dog last week. The dog be.
longed>to Eli Woodlee (col.) All the
mad dogs should be killed. AS a pre-
cautionary measure three fourths of
all the dogs in the country, and especi-
ally about the towns, should be killed
to prevent their going mad. Such
precaution would not only protect the
lives of individuals and valuable ami,
mails from hydrophobia, but would be
a great relief to the wool growing in.
terests of Tennessee.

buildings of the place. The Chronicle
is one of the best exchanges that comes

prising spirit of the paper.

The Telephone.

The wire is here and the spoles are
being distributed along the line to
Woodbury., and ere long we will be
connected with Nashville and other
cities, and intermediate towns by tele-
phone communication. Certainly this
is an age Of progress, and as facilities
for transmitting communications by
wire increase, the expense of the same
will be reduced. When the Ameri.
can Government establishes National
line of telegraphy all over the country
then rates will be so reduced as not to
cost halt the present rate. Competition
in railroads and telegraph lines is es,
sential to bringing about low rates of
freight and communication and develop
the resources of the country.
