ing on the case of John Mckenzie VS..

A SENSIBLELAW.

Our Representative, Mr.. J. j.
Dykes, has introduced a bill
making it misdemeanor for any
person to allow the CARCASS of
any dead animal or fowl to re-
main unburied, either on his own
land or any other lands, and
providing for burial or cremation,
This is good idea. 1t is loss
enough to the owner to lose his
stock but it is an injury to the
community to drag nn animal
when dead some little distance
out of sight to rot aud decay, the
foul stencil of which is borne
back by every wind to poison

There are people who do not dare

many cases it is the primary
cause of much sickuess in hor
weather. We know of one fami-
ly which had 10 work hard one
Sunday last year TO burn up car

The State Board of Health
ought to give this bi the fullest

of leaving dead animals to rot

A German Colony.

Athens, Ala, Jan, 28.-M. Mais>
ner a prosperous German, OF Sioux
City, Ia, has been here for a few
DAYS and has perfected plans for
one of the most successful and
prosperous German colonies that
has ever been located in the South.
Ten miles southwest of Athens is
located Browns Ferry, one Of the
oldest crossing places on the Ten
nessee River. For many years this
has been the property of Capt. Rob,
ert B. Mason, If this place, and is a
rich and fertile body Of land. 1t
is only six miles above the shoals
and the same distance from DecaA
tur. The soil is rich and sandy,
and the water Of the neighborhood
splendid. Mr.. Maisner has made
arrangements with the proprietor
of this vast tract of land t. cut it
up into lots of a few acres and sell
it to German settlers of Iowa. who
propose to come South and start n
vineyard. Mr.. Maisner has con~
siderable experience in the grapes
growing business. He was among
the first settlers who made Cullnan
what it is now A party of assocI-
ales from the frozen North will
reach here in a few days and the
work Of laying out this large land e,
ell estate into small lots. prepare e,
tory for sale in the spring sales in
May, will immediately begin. AS
soon as spring breaks the projectors
of this mammoth enterprise will &C
north ana make up a load of peo-
pie, who will come by boat from
the upper Mississippi all the way tc
Browns Ferry, making the trip al
! their ease and at a small cost. The
sales will take place in early May
! when the lots will be auctioned off
to those who may desire to pur.
! chase. Mr.. Maisner is a gentleman
of ability and has managed these
character Of enterprises before anC
is delighted with the location tha
he has selected. 1t is only tel
miles from Athens, and has one 0
the best roads, level and smooth
that the comfy affords, with nj
high waters ever to cross between
the new colony site and the coun
ty capital
This bids fair to he the begin
ming of the greatest influx of pee
pie to this county. Limestone al
ready has one colony of German
citizens, but they. unfortunately
! selected verv poor section of tn
country, where the lands were 10
the most part Government proper
ty and could be had cheap. Her
they settled some wears ago, bu
have made splendid homes an
this section of the county is nov
