Why "Bab" likes dogs is stated
as follows:
~ like dogs, because I know so
many men and women.
l like dogs, because they always
see my virtues, andignore my vices.
l like dogs, because they are
friends through good report and
evil report; through poverty and
through inches.
1 like dogs, because they are
faithful and generous.
I like dogs, because they are full
of a certain simplicity that finds
pleasure in very little things"
"Bab' says, furthermore, that it
is as natural for a human being to
like a dog as it is to like baby !;
and household without one or the
other of course, any well-regulated
household has both-isn't worth
belonging to.
Our jovial, witty and wise friend,
Mr.. 6 F. Maxwell, Of Eillsville,
was IN town last Thursday on real
estate business, and, as usual,
when here, favored us with call.
In some shape or other our friend
always shows his appreciation OF
the labors Of the country editor,
ard the cigars that we are smoking
while at work tonight is an evil
dence of that fact. Mr.. Maxwell
was accompanied by his daughter,
Miss Marcia, who will be the guest
of Mrs. A. w. Reed for some days.
We trust that Miss Marcia's health,
which is delicate at present, will be
fully restored by her sojourn In our
pleasant, pine envir0ned town.

to return, having accepted a posi-

the McComb City Bank. This de-
served promotion is gratifying to
his Poplarville friends, but they
sincerely dislike the idea OF giving
him up. The girls especially Will
miss his polite attentions. Henry,
we wish you horseshoe luck.
