The Mocking Bird and the Sparrow

Ndtehez, Miss, Democrat.
An observant gentleman of our city
says he thinks that he hears fewer of
the South's greatest sOngsters, the
mocking birds, now warbling than
ever before, and believes that the
feathered singers are abandoning this
section. The only way he can account
for their disappearance is the advent
in this section of those little pests, the
English sparrows. They are turbulent
and pugnaceous little birds, and all
other birds which do not possess the
same characteristics make haste to
abandon their favOrite retreats and
leave sparrows in possession of the
field. 1t would be great pity indeed
if the SOuth's favOrite birds should be
forced out or exterminated by the
English sparrow.

broods, it is but reasonable to suppose
that chickens which are well develop

prepared to resist disease than those
which are imperfectly developed and
scantily clothed.

A Cordial Invitation to Panthsrs to
Remain Outside the County.
For several years the vicinity OF
Long Hollow has been harassed by
wild beasts, and defamations have
been committed which have at
times caused the blood to run
warm in the vains of the denizens.
Persons travelling through this
Hollow at night-a very lonely
road to travel-have been attack.
ed, although such instances are not
numerous. Several men have de-
clared that they have seen a panther
in that neighbOrhoOd, and one man
ran long distance to escape the
deadly clutches of a very large
panther.
An enormous one has recently
been causing an upheaval in the
neighborhood of Elkana johnson,
four miles from town. We are
informed that upwards of thirty
sheep have been destroyed, torn
and mangled remains being found
in several places. In order to
ward off and frighten away the
monster a large number of dogs
were placed as guards over the
sheep, but they, too, were found
with their bodies severed in two,
This voracious and willy beast has
caused much anxiety in the neigh
borhood and vigils have been kept
near sheep patches. But with all
the watching the marauder still
goes unpublished.
A posse of half q dozen men
went out from Maryville Thursday
morning, each armed with rifle
or shotgun. A days search was
made, the woods secured and
bramble and briar patches ran
sacked, but no trace of the painter
was seen. And it is probably very
well that no encounter was had, for
a panther is terrible enemy to
fight. Some Of the men, however,
are old hunters and would prove a
match for, and probably silence the
guns Of the opposing force.
Old hunters inform us that
panthers, wolves, etc., are constant
ly emigrating from one range of
mountains to the other. They
spend one month in the Smokes
and inaugurate the next month in
the Cumberlands with a big barbe.
cue. A flock Of sheep may be
destroyed in a night by aroaving
panther or wolf, and by the time
the sun rises next morn
ing the guilty beast may be twenty
miles away, hidden in the deeI
recesses and jungles of our gian
mountains.

The County Clerks Office was fill
ed early on monday morning by
new Justices, soon to be prepared
to get ready to begin to commence
the starting of the opening up OF
their new lives. All of them gave
bond and received their csmmis-

was anxious to get foot or two a.
head of the other Justices, and as
quick as he got his commission
rushed out upon the street, into his
Office, seized pen and warrant,

some reason business was also
waiting, and before his chair got
