How The Dog Law
Works in Cheatham.

SEEM my friends (Mr. J. g. See
letter in your paper the other day
from Billville, thought I'd send
you one, too. We got The Ameri,
can last week and it said that the
legislator had passed dog law, and
perceeded to put it in. Pa he read
it, and read it, and at last he got
mad and sed he be goldarned if he
believed the fellers what made that
law knowed what they was dom
anyway. Pa thinks he's a purity
good skoller and he didn't like it
becoz them folks fixed it up so fine.
Well, he got holt of a paper that
cum from Moo York and it sed the
dorg law wasn't no COON except to
make Teller pay tax, and if he
payed taxes his dorg could kill all
the sheep he wanted too. Our dog,
Old Streak, is purity good at KILN
sheep, and he'd give Pa no end of
trouble payin' fines and etcetery,
and he sed for me to go over to
Ashland and give the man dollar,
and he made me take Old Streak
with me so the man could git him
down rite. So we got there and l
told that courtin' clerk to take extra
notice of the rings on Streak's tail,
and when he cum around to look
Old Streak got mad and grabbed
him by the shank. Well he quit
courtin' for awhile sure, and when
he'd got better he sed I'd have to
give hime dollars or he'd indite
me. l told him | wuzent goin' to
do no SIGH thing, but about then l
thought that didn't pay the taxes
on Old Streak. So l ses to him to
give me my collar and tag and I'd
pay the money, and he ses he hain't
got no collars and tags, that he
didn't keen no dorgs' cloathing store,
so l got mad and said some Sunday
school words and threw the dollar
down on the table and told him if
he didn't make Streak legal dorg
I'd mash his BANKED head. Well
he writ something in a book and
told me l could go.
Coin back that evenin' we passed
big gang of sheep and l couldn't
keep Streak. He just went into
them sheep and killed about half of
them, but l didn't pay much 'tention
for I'd payed his taxes and Pa he'd
said he could do all the damage he
wanted to. Well, the next day the
Sheriff cum and told Pa he'd have
to pay 80 dollars for them sheep or
go to Jail. Pa cussed and swore
and said he be darned if he would,
but he did.-Correspondence Amer

the people, even to the surrender of
individual conception of sworn duty.
No elected officeholder cares to in
vite political martyrdom by refus-
ing to obey the behests of influential
constituents; and conscientious
scruples are overruled by the plea
that servant must be obedient to
the will of those he represents.
"Another astounding occasion of
public waste and extravaganza has
grown out OF the abuse of our
nations tender regard for those who
suffered in its defense. Through
the efforts of unprinclpled pension
agents and attorneys, a lavish adj
ministration of extremely liberal
general pension laws has resulted in
numerous undeserved allowances,
and these have been largely in
creased by thousands of pensions
granted by special laws to those who
have failed for want of merit under
general statues. These benefciaries
have thus learned that earnest sup
port of party leader or a pledge
of partisan return for especially con
gressional favor may be relied on
as promising substitutes for pen
sionable disability.
1.-The lessons of extravaganza
and paternalism must be unlearned;
and the people must exact from
their representative watchfull
care for the general welfare and a
stern resistance to the demands of
selfish interests, if our Government
is to be an enduring and beneficent
protection to patriotic and virtuous
people"

The following telegram from
Nashville shows that the Anti
Saloon League proposes to make ii
interesting for the whiskey interests
in this state: "Rev. John Royal
Harris, of Lewisburg, has been elect
ed superintendent Of the League, and
he is going to make a vigorous
effort to stir up the boys. He is
now preparing for campaign that
is contemplated to extend to the
election of the next Legislature.
The League purposes to have every
candidate for the legislature to
commit himself before election as TO
his position on the saloon question,
and every effort will be made to
send men to the legislature who are
in harmony with the Leagues pur-
poses. To this end it will be the en-
deavor of the superintendent to es-
tablish a local league in every coun-
ty in the State and in as many
towns and cities as possible. Mr..
Harris intends to procure exact
dates and keep careful record of
the temperance situation in towns
that have been enabled TO Danish
saloons by the Peeler bill, so that
the argument that "prohibition does
not prohibit many be met by facts.
Every violation cf the law is to be
prosecuted, able counsel having
been employed for this purpose.

To OUR FALLEN BRAVES.

Our eyes suffuse with cleaning tears.
As th' mind reverts near forty years,
We scan the page, heroic scroll,
To cheer the heart, inspire the soul;
Still deeds of proves on tented field,
Which histry's page has ne'er revealed,
Nor sculptor graved on wood or stone,
The fallen braves have made our own.
There was a time in that proud day,
Our hearts did swell in tuneful lay;
Oh Muse still linger in our song,
Inspire the words to suit the throng,
Who fell for us mid crashing shell,
Our Southern boys, we loved so well
Times dark veil has never concealed
TIL deeds of valor ON SOuthland's field.
They braved the charge and myriads wheeled,
To superior force they wouldn't yield,
They rushed right on the lannon's mouth,
To defend their own, the Sunny South;
They struck for freedom though they fell,
Entombed in glory, who can tell?
But theirs is still the better fate,
Not in duress, nor victor's hate.
Humility's depth they never knew,
Brimfull of hope they TOUCHED it through.
Until they:fell with great renown,
Still reaching forth for free dom's crown;
Avails it not from palace or shed,
Nor in what ranks or field they bled,
They loved their homes, to country true,
Dear boys in gray, we loved them too.
If in thu spurred ranks by Forrest led
Or foot sore marched TO Stonewall's tread,
Or stood with Lee in Richmond's strife,
For our country, home and fireside;
Just think for you and me they diedl
Let's wreathe the chaplets round their graves,
Our fallen boys, our honored braves
Our Johnson fell on Shiloh's field,
\ thousand others, who wouldn't yield
An inch of ground they ever gained
To backward moves their feet were chained;
By love of h0me and country dear,
Our fallen boys well eer revere,
In Richmond's forts, Chickamauga's bout,
Gettysburg heights, Old Sturgis route.
Lee, our general, though not slain,
" hose honors make an endless chain,
We feel so proud his name to call,
His bust adorns Fame's honored Hail.
Our Gordon, too, had boys who fell,
Mid cannon roar and charging, yell,
We doff our hats to pass the mound,
Where now they sleep, as sacred ground.
To you, old Vets, who wore the gray,
Let's do the right, no trust betray,
Nor envy those who wore the blue
With no pension we'll make it through
Expect no favors till death shall come,
Let's march together to tap of drum,
Our fallen braves up there Wen meet,
Whose steps now vie with angel feet.
The boys who fell for you and me,
They've donned the white, put off the gray,
They're walking now the shining way;
Their crowns will shine forever, bright,
When stars and suns are lost in night;
Be true to friends, and then you'll meet,
And tread with them the golden street.

A PATRIOTIC WEDDING.
Confederate Reunion, Memphis, Tenn,

Confederate Reunion, Memphis, Tenn.
May, 1901
The soldiers of the sunny South
Who used to the gray
All met at Memphis, Tennessee,
One happy week in May.
Some veterans of the Ct. a. r.,
AS spruse as if on drill,
Went down to talk about old times,
As old campaigners will.
So daring Johnny Lee who rode
With Stonewall Jackson's band,
And Jimmey Lent who beat the drum
For Sheridans command,
StrOlled out together side by side,
To take the evening air,
And walking In the dewey dusk
Behind youthful pair
The maid was graceful slight and small;
Such dainty hands and feet
Could only grow where sunshine makes
The Georgia melons sweet.
Her tall young lovers manly frame,
His firm and sprightly tread,
His clear blue eye aud ruddy cheek
New England'S SHOWS had bred.
He bent to press lingering kiss
Upon her willing lips;
About his stslwart shoulders stole
Her rosy finger tips.
The south wind bore their tender VOWS
Upon its balmy breath
Glove thine, and thou art mine."

The two old soldiers paused, at first
Too full of joy to speak;

Each weather beaten cheek.

at is nay boy,' cried Jimmey Lent,
As pleased as he could be.
Oh thus children's kisses heal
The wounds our bullets made,
And love has forged wedding ring
OF bayOnet and blade.
The sword is sheathed forever now
In bridal flowers that blow
On fields of glory red with blood
Not many years ago.
So down in Memphis, Tennessee,
One happy week in May,
The veterans OF the North and South
Turned out in proud array.
Beneath one bright and starry flag,
Like comrades tried and true
They marched to church and saw the gray
United TO the blue

National Danger in
Public Prodigality

In an article on "The Waste OF
Public Money" published in the
Saturday Evening Post of Philadel-
phia, former President Cleveland
sounds a warning to the people
against the dangers that lie in reck-
less extravaganza in public expendi-
lures. Among other things he
says:
eff the aggregate mass of out
people are at all blame worthy on
account of the present advanced
stage of public prodigality, it is
largely because they overlooked and
tolerated its small beginnings,
when at all times they should have
been vigilant and uncompromising.
A self-ruling people, responsible for
every miscarriage of their Govern
ment, should, above all things, con-
stantly remember that nothing
multiplies itself more abundantly
than national extravaganza; and that
neither an individual nor a popular
government can easily correct or
check habits of waste.
"While easy-going Indifference
and liberation produce bitter fruit,
an infinitely more dangerous and
threatening condition is presented
by the fact thatmany of our citizens
have passed beyond the stage of
mere-indifference, and, by accepting
the brides of--selGsh and personal
advantage which public waste and
xtrayagance offer, have been slim

The HOMESPUN DRESS.

0, yes, am a Southern girl,
And glory is the name;
l boast of it with greater pride
Than glittering wealth or fame;
1 envy not the Northern girl
Her robes OF beauty rare,
Though diamonds deck her snowy neck
And pearls bestud her hair.
Chorus
Hurrah, hurrah!
For the sunny South so dear
Three cheers for the homespun dress
The Southern ladies wear
Now, Northen goods are out of date;
And, since Old Abe's blockade
We Southern girls can be content
With goods that's Southern made.
We send our sweethearts to the war;
But girls, ne'er you mind
Your soldier-love will not forget
The girl he left behind.
The Southern lands glorious land,
And has glorious cause;
Then cheer, three cheers for Southern rights
And for the Southern boys!
We scOrn to wear bit of silk,
A bit of Northern lace,
But make our homespun dresses up
And wear them with q grace
And, now, young man, word to you,
If you would win the fair,
Go to the field where honor calls
And win your lady there;
Remember that our brightest smiles
Are for the true and brave,
And that our tears all for those
Who fill the soldiers grave.
