A WAR ON CATS AND DOGS.
Little Girl burned to Death-A Sui
eide at Hahira,


Valdosta, Ga, April 16-The people of
Hahira in this county, are waging a Wig
orous warfare upon cats and dogs The
citizens have issued an edict that every
dog or cat caught will be killed without
regard 20 ownership, value or condition.
Two little children-adopted children Of
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. T. McNein of that place
were badly bitten and scratched by a
rabid cat this week, and near the same
place Henry Plair died of hydrophobia as
the result of a mad dogs bite. These
things have kndled strong opposition TO
dogs and cats and the war upon them viii
continue until the number is materially
reduced. The children who were bitten by
the cat are getting along very well, and
no evil effects are expected. as the wounds
were promptly cauterzed.
A little S-year-old daughter of Mrs Bar
field, living at Hahira, was burned to
death this week while playing with fire.
The child had a broom, which caught on
fire, and then caught the chiids dress
fatally | urning the little one before any
thing could be done 20 save it. The
child's mother was also badly burned
Mr.. West Lawson, well-known citizen
of Hahira, committed suicide this week
by taking an overdose of laudanum He
had been drinking and was depressed by
that. He leaves a wife and several chill
dren. When not drinking he was a hard
working man and good citizen.
1t is reported here to-day that a Michl-
gan syndicate has bought $1,000 acres of
florida timber lands. The deal was made
with parties here, but was not fully con-
summated, though a forfeit was put up to
bind the deal.

to know the best way 10 get rid of them
without using poison.
The aggregate damage of all kinds from
rats and mice amounts to a considerable
sum in every locality and it is a very de-
sirable thing to wage war upon them es-
peciaIly in the early spring. We have new
er believed in poison as means OF de-
stroying animal life of any kind. If one
will only take a little trouble il is quite
possible to keep a place entirely free from
these destructive little animals.
Once fully exterminated in place, two
or three good cats will keep them in sub
lection, but il is well to trap the rats
from time to time, and there is no better
trap than a large tin can (such as lard
comes IND. Set one or even a half dozen
about the place, where they most infest,
and fill one-third full with cotton seed or
hulls, and on this put some attractive bait
like cheese parings, squash or pumpkin
seed, etc, and a piece of broiled bacon.
In week or so after they begin to fire.
quent the cans empty out the seeds or
hulls and put the cans one-third full
of water, and on the water put enough
hulls or seed to conceal the water. Then
put some attractive bait back on the seeds
or hulls. and every rat that jumps in VIII
be drowned. Place a board for the rats
to run up. Properly managed, every rat
about a barn can be destroyed in a few
nights See that there is no other food
for them outside of the cans.
A mixture of dry meal and plaster of
paris, equal parts, we'll mixed together,
will kill rats and mice that eat it. 1t pro-
duces an intestinal disease that will VI
timately kill them.

his heart and stomach, and always felt
worse than he did before drinking X. but
that he did not see how he could get along

I'VE said nothing about the Postum
