"One Of the HanusOm est Weekly
Papers i'm the State"

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Wilmington Messenger, pays THE
CAUCASIAN the following highly sp-
preciated compliment:
The Clinton CAUCASIAN makes it's
appearance this week greatly i'm
proved. The old dress is renovated
and partially made new, and the
paper is printed on bran new pow
er press. The arrangement of the
matter is also improved upon, and
THE CAUCASIAN is now one of the
handaomest weekly papers in the
state. And as country paper, we
have observed that it is the fullest,
and about the best of all our exchan-
ges, if we may say as much without
being invidious. We have noticed
that THE CAUCASIAN pays more at
tention to local matters in the coun-
ty, by townships, than any of its
contemporaries, and we should judge
the people of Sampson appreciated
the service it is rendering them.
They should learn to do so, if they
have not already, for the value to
county of such paper as THE
CAUCASIAN can not be overestima-
ted, and it should enjoy a most lib
eral and paying home patronage
Such enterprise and industry as Mr..
Butler is displaying in behalf OF
Clinton and Sampson is rare-too
rare not to be noticed abroad and
appreciated at home.

Now soon he'll call and lift us up,
From earth to Heaven above.

For The CAUCASIAN.
Mingo, Sampson Co., n. c. !
Feb. Goth. 1889. :
There are about four thousand per-
sons in Sampson county that raise
chickens, and some Of them lose
from one hundred to two hundred
during one year by the hawks.
We don't wish to be extTava-
giant; let lis make an average.
Suppose each person loses twenty
chickens, destroyed by the hawks,
(which they dO.) Sampson county
would lose eighty thousand chickens,
worth, at ten cents each, eight thou
sand dollars. North Carolina with
ninety six counties at the same rate
would lose seven hundred and sixty
eight thousand dollars worth of
chickens destroyed in one year By
the hawks. Then, fourteen Of the
Southern States which would average
about equal with North Carolina I
know nothing about the facilities Of
raising chickens and their destruc-
ton by hawks in the other States, J
would make an aggregate loss OF
eleven million seven hundred and
fifty two thousand dollars worth OF
chickens in one year at 10 cts. per
head. Say nothing Of the loss il
geese, ducks, turkeys and other
birds, all destroyed by the hawks
and this in only fourteen States. L
there a remedy? There is; let Con
gress make an appropriation as they
did in case Of the english SparroWs
AMI in quite a short time the mos
of, if not this vast amount will bt
saved; let Congress or the Legislature
or both MARE an appropriation @
, fifty cents, Or, if it be one dollar i
will better enable the huntsman t
prepare himself and take up HI
time in hunting them. [ have pal,
fifty cents a piece, and expect to pa,
one dollar this spring to kill then
around my place. There is II
remedy except general one, becaus
as fast as / can have them kille
around my place they come in iron
another. Youmay think it nonsens
that a man can make anythin
, even at the proposed price. Blu
i, there are men in Sampson count
. who can GO into the woods an
charm or call up and kill 8 or
hawks in few minutes at one place
: know one man whs has kille
| about seventy five during the la:
T year.
L hope all who are interested
chickens will push this moveme i
81 forward until the great enemy I
e chickens is destroyed. j. Al.
