Washington Gazette: Gen. Heard brought
into our office contrivance for torturlng
pigeons which would shame a Comancne
Indian. Half OF brick was tied to a yartl
or so Of string, and on the other end was
factana1 Az xuhiah ha1 nar.r{aG a
grain Of corn. 1t was SO placed as TO at
tract pigeon which had caught the hook
in its tongue and was trying TO fly but was
| weighted down by the brick until its
| tongue was distended several inches. In
this condition it was found on the square.
| Whether anybody else saw and failed to
relieve this animal, we know not. A Chris
| tian, not to say civilized community, ought
| to have a society for the prevention of cru
city to animals. Solicitor Gilbert, when
asked, said there was law punishing this
| cruel deed and he would take pleasure in
prosecuting the perpetrator.
Blackshear Times: One evening last
week, just as the sun was beginning to settle
| down In the western horizon, the little
daughter of Joseph NJ. Warren, who lives a
few miles west of Blackshear, was bitten in
the foot by a large ground rattle snakes
| The little girl was returning from milking
tile, for IL twice fastened its poisonous faDgs
in the soft flesh of her foot before she could
| get out of its reach. Hearing the scream of
| her dautgter, Mrs. Warren fastened to the
scene and, with the aid of her son, quickly
dispatched the angry reptile, winch
was of unusual size, measuring fully two
feet in length. The little girl was hurriedly
carried to the house, not FAR away. and
various applications were quickly made to
the dual wounds, while a messenger was
hastened for doctor. DIR. j. L. Smith
| answered the hurried summons, and was
| soon at the bedside Of the little sufferer,
doing all that science could do to save the
life so dear TO her parents. The battle was
bravely and vigorously fought and won.
Albany Neus and Advertiser: For
long time the subscribers to the stock of the
Columbus Southern railroad have been
holding out against paying their subscrip-
tions. They claimed that the origin al pro-
jectors of the road in order to accomplish
its erection, made promises TO the citizens
of Albany in order to secure stock taken,
which promises were never carried into
execution. For that reason a number of the
subscribers claimed that on account of fall
ure of consideration they were relieved Of
their liability. The matter remained in this
shape until the present term of court, at
which time the road began suit the first
case Of the kind that was called was one
against Cap. s. r. Weston, who had sub
scribed for several hundred dollars stock of
the road. Capt. Watsons attorneys filed
demurrer to the complaint made, and this
being sustained by the court. the case went
to the jury OH the general
issue of Indebtedness for the stock
subscribed. After the Introduction of all
the evidence and the argument Of the case
the jury retired and returned verdict in
favor Of the road. This being the first case
of the kind tried the precedent is established,
and all parties who have been resisting pay
meut on the ground that the promises made
were not carried out will have TO submit
now to the ruling or rather the finding of
the court. No other cases will hardly be
pressed to suit as this was sufficient.
