Right here, while we are enjoying
! pretty cold weather, we would like to
caution all lovers of what is correct
and right between man and beast,
when they come to town, to put the
animals in barn; it will only cost
ten cents to put your we'll bred
horses, and Mobiles county farmers
own nothing else, in good warm
livery barn, and not let them shiver
in the cold while they sit by some
grocery or office fire and swap yarns
with the town liar as long as dull
sermon. It pays to treat our dumb
animals with kindest consideration
every day in the year.
1t is said by an exchange that in
the good old days in Kansas when
the grasshoppers were eating up
everything in sight except the farm
mortgages, the insects used to line up
on the railroad tracks, and once in a
while train on an up grade would
be stopped because the drive wheels
of the engine would slip on the track,
which was creased by the. crushed
bodies of the pests. This is sugges-
tive of nothing in particular, but is
commended to the thoughtful con-
sideration of the fellows who think it
small job to do up an established
paper. Small insects stop train,
sometimes, but it takes good many
of 'em. .
