by yellow dog, supposed to be mad The

down and bit him on the head, over the
lett eye, and on the left arm. The dog
then proceeded on a rapid run up Atlanta
street, when a large crowd went in pursuit
Constable Moon fired several shots at the

then ran off down Anderson street, when
Mr.. Moon followed and put four bullets

bring the blood. DR.. N N. Gober cauter-

On Friday afternoon another mad dog
was on the rampage He was a yellow
dog, and when first seen, he attacked and
bit Mr.. Whitlock dog, and then he ran
on some distance and bit Mr.. Joe Blacks
dog. The rabid animal then went on up
Atlanta street, and, it is said, bit several
dogs while enroute. he turned down a
back street and DIT Mr.. John W. Sanges
dog when several persons among them
Mr. Joe Black and Mr.. Larry, followed and
shot the dog to death with pistols. These
worthless dogs roaming around the country
half starved, soon go mad and endanger
the lives of all whom they may come in
contact

THERE is no mistake but what our citi-
zens in town and country have as fine
stock, COWS, horses and mules, and even
hogs, as can be found anywhere One of
the strangest things in the west is the
absence of fne-blooded mich cows. Few
Jerseys are to be seen, while beef cattle
are numbered by the thousands. 1t is no
rare thing for us to hear of COWS in our
town and country that will give four, five
and six gallons OF milk per day. They
sell for a good price, it is true, out they
are very valuable and are worth good
price. Old Cobb county is keeping up
with the progressive improvements in
everything

WE regret to state that Hon. A. S.
Clay wife, who has been sick with fever
for several weeks, is in a very critical con-
dition, and serious apprehension is en-
tertained of the result. She was doing
we'll until last Sunday, but since then, not
SO well. Sac is receiving the very best
attention and everything is done that is
deemed wise and helpful. Col. Clay is
constantly at her bedside. In consequence
of this, he was not present at the opening
of the legislature to assume the duties of
speaker of the house. He is greatly dis
tressed and has the sympathy of our en-.
tire people in his trouble.
