and liver to properly perform their fire

using Ayers Sarsaparilla. Mrs. George

OUR SOUTHERN BUDGET

SOUTHERN PINES, NC, Oct. II.
The people of Pennsylvania think they
are pretty well posted on buzzards.
They, and the people all over the coun-
try, are pretty well acquainted with the
Welsh Mountain Buzzard gang.and Abe
Buzzard has been the special object of
the novel reading youngsters ambition,
and the local prayer meetings in that
part of the Keystone State for several
years.
We are not 10 be outdone here in the
South. We have buEzards-turkey buz-
yards. They are generally mistaken by
Northern visitors 70. large chicken
hawks. They sail about through the
air exactly like hawks. When they
alight on the ground or II tree they look
like full grown turkeys.
These birds are scayengers, and hold
high carnival over the carcasses of dead
animals and fowls. But unlike the
Northern crow their carnival is a silent
one, As one of these large birds sails
gracefully through the air the posSessor
of rifle naturally has desire to.try
his hand at such a mark. But the law
says that who ever kills buzzlrl shall
pay the penalty. They are about the
only kind of bird | know Of shat is pro-
tected by the South.
have been told that in Charleston,S.
c., the bpzzards are so tame that they
walk at pleasure through the market
houses; deyouring the scraps of offal and
tainted meat that are thrown to them.
Some market men, presume, have pet
buzzards, and to kick one out of the way
would subject the kicker to a great deal
Of annoyance,as the rule would be who
ever kicks my buzzard kicks me.
WILD TURKEYS AND DEER.

me that IN this State plenty Of will tur-
