Points On Poultry Raising

A Courier reporter stopped i'll
at certain business house in Sa-

group by telling Tom their expe-
rience in hen culture, while the
Courier man, Mr.. Afford and
George Crawford did the laughing.
Tom Maxwell is a success at any
thing he undertakes, except mar.
rying-on this subject he is mum.
But back to our subject. The
experience narrated by Mr.. GUN

kept his mouth shut. But every
time Pink had Tom thinking Sc
riously over how to make hens

remarks, Green was given the floor
and said something very impress.

much, and he was soon taking
notes on his daybook. Pink could
not keep still. Right here he in

impression he had fastened upon
friend Toms mind. by saying that
Green was never known to own a
hen fowl Of anykind. At this junct'

The Courier does not wish to
harm anyone, but this wholesale
violation of our common laws
right under the glaring gaze of the
public should be put stop to.
The duty of the grand jury now
in session-and a sworn duty, too
is to investigate violations Of
the law, and to find indictments
against parties guilty of trampling
them under foot. The first thing
that should appeal to them is this
"tippling" business, scrap" play
ing, etc. Unless the laws are en-
forced to the letter such conduct
cannot be broken up. No man
has a right to sell anything that
will intoxicate and make men
drunk.
