Was it a Mad Dnp2

On Saturday morning between half
past five and six o'clock as the first
persons were stirring about the streets.
dog, not a large one, on the order of
good sized rat terrier, came down
Commerce street. The animal seem
ed 20 have but one business and that
was to bite every dog he came across.
One of the first he jumped into was
Turk" we'll known large dog, fol-
lowed by two or three others. A bov
who happened to be on his wav to
open the store where he was employed
ran up on marble steps or he might
have come in for a snap to, for directly
after he gathered up cat on the high
est curvature ofits spine that bent on
his approach, and tossed it into the
street. Mad dog like, it did not want
to fight, but just to bite and pass on.
There were several persons who saw
1t, but strange to say, instead of getting
something to kill it, or by hallOoing
fire, murder or something to attract
the attention of those who would, they
gave it the benefit of doubt and let
it go. 1t seemed to have but one pur-
pose; to bite everything it saw. How
long it had been travelling, whether all
night or not, and how many dogs were
bitten, is something that only subse-
quent events can determine. We hear
Of it at the Smyrna mill, and the miller
was so sure as to its character, that he
killed his dog that had been bitten.
We hear that it was subsequently,
killed at Clayton. 1t will be a fearful
thing if this dog shall create a harvest
of mad dogs at some time in the future.

Taking up Young Thieves.

There was big stir among the bows
on Wednesday and five of them were
subjected to a severe experimental les.
son. They were little fellows from
nine to twelve years of age, but were
fast learning to be adopts in the art of
stealing. From stealing pigeons, fruit
&c, they had passed on to more i'm
pOrtant game-bOxes Of merchandise
from the freight cars at the depot.
While some would be at this work
others would be on the lookout. and
when one of the depot attaches would
appear, the boys would "scoot" around
the cars, coal bins, hedges, &c, and
thus get out out of the way before
they could be come up with. The Off
cials tried several times to catch the
young Tascals, but the bows were
always too quick for them. Finally
last week they got into a car aud stole
therefrOm a box of snuff The rail
road authorities seeing things were
getting worse instead of better deter
mined to put stop to the pilfering and
sent detective Hutchins to work it uD.
This he did skiilfully by circulating
around West Smyrna where thew re-
sided, and wormed enough information
from the people to pretty we'll settle
upon the boys, who were brought
before Squire Cooper on Wednesday
afternoon and after a careful hearing
identified, fined aud held in bail in the
sum ofSlOO each for their appearance
at court to answer to the charge of lar

each, were paid by their parents who
also in some cases, it is said, admins
tered a good licking to make the occa-
sion impressive.

But it is understood that the assem-
bling of the delegates is to be rather in
the nature of a conference onthe points
submitted to the congress than for any
decided action, no accredited delegate
being vested with powers to bind the
government he represents. The Span
ish-American Union of New York,
which is composed of merchants trad
ing with those countries, believes that
if the trade was carried on by Ameri-
can steamers, supported by subsidies, it
would have a rapid expansion. That
it would make communication more
direct and regular there can be no
doubt, but it is difficult to see how we
are to compete with England and Ger
many, and with France also, in mar
kets which they almost absolutely
control, unless we can meet them on
equal or superior terms. Still, with
respect to promoting friendly relations
between us and our sister republics,
the congress of delegates cannot fail to
do some good. After it is organized it
is proposed to take the delegates on a
tour of the country, which of itself will
be an excellent thing, inasmuch as it
will bring them into personal acquain-
tance with our population, the gen.
eral prosperity of our people, our
wealth in minerals and metals and our
industrial aptitudes and resources.

TIE meeting of the several state po-
itical conventions give unmistakable
signs Of the drift of sentiment. Un-
daunted by the result of the last presi-
dental campaign, the Democrats are
more Outspoken for free wool and a

over, there is a strongly manifested de-
sire for Mr.. Cleveland for the stand
ard-bearer again, and many of the DO
litical leaders believe he will be chosen.
On the side of the dominant party

publicans, and the Republican Leagues
of Pennsylvania and New York Clubs.
all held conventions last week. The ex-
pressions Of sentiment at these gath
erings furnish fair basis for an intel
lgent judgment concerning the condi-
ton and feeling of the party. Their
membership included the old war
horses as well as the fresh young blood
party, representing every shade of party
sentiment in the most important Re
publican States of tie Union.
The platform declarations are every
where in favor of the policy or Pro-
lection, Of a National c'-. Lazy

Congress, of reduction of IT, surplus

Of fair treatment of the oh s.i. iers.

that are demanded by the best senti-
ment Of the State but have been per-
sistently vetoed by Gov. Hill.

BYTHEIR platform, adopted last week
the Republicans of Massachusetts, call
on their senators and representatives in
Congress ito defend a sound currency
and resist an increase of the present
silver coinage" Also that ''the Re
publican party is in favor of the use of
both gold and silver as money, and
condemns the policy of the Democratic
administration in its efforts to de-
mOnetize silver :"
An exchange says that the Colorado
silver mine owners propose to test the
constitutionality of the silver act re-
stricting coinage to not less than 81, 900,
600 nor more than $4,OOO,OOOa a month.
A committee of the Colorado Mining
Exchange will present 100 ounces of
silver at the Philadelphia mint and de-
mand that it be coined into standard
dollars. The metal in a silver dollar is
worth about 20 cents. Its coinage
would add 80 cents to its nominal
value. But the Philadelphia mint will

A New Industry.

It has been clearly proven that grow
ing tomatoes at six dollars per ton will
paw, and pay we'll. It was stated by
number of prominent land owners that
tomatoes would not pay, but the past
wear has demonstrated clearly that they
will, even under unfavOrable circum-
stances, yield almost enough in one
wear to pay for the land titled. Sugar
corn was grown at Odessa last year
with great success, and when the con-
tracting parties were ready to contract
this year they chad offers for more
acreage than they could handle. 1t Is
now proposed to establish a cannery
in this town provided a tillage OF
400 acres can be assured. 1t is
obvious to all farmers that wheat and
corn at present prices do not pay, and
that farmers must resort to some other
plan to make their lands pay them, not
only living but fair interest on their
money invested.
Tomatoes have proven q great help
but the whole farm cannot be put in
this fruit. If growers will turn their
attention to sugar corn in addition to
tomatoes and the balance in grain, they
will find they will derive more benefit
financially than in the growing only of
wheat and corn. Tomatoes and sugar
corn have another advantage in that
the grower gets his money within a
shorter period without having to carry
his crops over for six months or year
They are handled at less expense and
there is no doubt the land is as good
here and our farmers are as enterpris-
ing as in other sections, where corn
and tomOtoes are grown at a profit to
the farmer.
1t is hoped an expression of opinion
on the securing of 400 acres of sugar
corn for the coming year will be given
at once that this enterprise may be
established here and not only be a
benefit to the grower but to town and
vicinity.
