STREAMING AT A GNAT.

The HERALD is in favor of a law to
protect the sheep industry Of Tonnes
see from the ravages of hungry dogs.
We do not wish to be mistaken
about that.
For other reasons still, we are in
favor of as strong an anti-dog law as
can constitutionally be drawn.
Never year passes, hardly a mouth,
that somebody in this State is not
manned fer life or killed by a dog.
And we place one human life above
the lives of all the dogs in Tennessee.
So the HERALD is not OILY in
favor of the sheep, but it is opposed
to the dogs. AS rule the dog is the
most worthless piece of property a
man can own, and not an mex
pensive one. What he eats could be
sight more probably FED to the
hogs.
We have no sort of sympathy with
that sentiment that defends the dog
as the boon companion of man. 1t
is an exaggeration to begin with,
but if true should be frowned upon,
and every man taught to aspire a
little higher than the companion
ship of dog.
But when all is said against the dog
that possibly NAV be said, 1t is still
an inf1nitesimal trouble when com
pared with other evils that basel US !;
and the Nashville press-:he Banner
and the American-when they rail
at the dogs and shut their eyes to
the damning influence of the open
saloon, are "blind guides, which
strain at a gnat, and swallow a
camel"
They seem to have more pity for
the sheep than they have for the
boys. They are evidently more con.
cerned for the sheep industry than
for good morals in Tennessee. They
bewail the loss Of single lamb from
the fold, but say never a Wort fol-
the boy who comes to their city clear
and pure, with The benedictlon of {
mothers kiss upon his brow, and :

say never a word for him or sym

when the kjn1el houn0s of tui
whiskey traffic fall upon him anC

and disgrace and death.
Is it not passing strange that on

FREE RURAL DELIVERY.

One of the greatest cOnveniences
the people of this county can have
is free mail delivery, every day in
the year, except Sundays. And they
can get that convenience, simply for
the asking, as will be seen from
Congressman Padgett's card, pub
lishcd elsewhere in this paper.
With telephone in your house
and the daily mail broug't to your
door, the isolation of country life
will be thing of the past,
Each carrier is expected to cover
about 20 miles per day, and he can
do that, by going out one pike and
crossing over and coming back
another. Mr.. Padgett thinks that
he can get possibly as many as six
carriers for this county. IT so, they
would aggregate in their travels ap.
proximately $50 miles per day.
Think of the number of people
they would reach. Aud it would
not, as some seem to think, be con-
fined to those who live on the pixies.
A family living a mile or more from
the pike, could still have a box on
the pike, and get their mail daily
And these carriers will not only bring
mail, but they will collect mail
RIGHT at home the citizen can
mail his letter to the uttermost
parts Of the earth, and receive
his reply without leaving his own
premises. And if he wants postage
STAMPS. the carrier will have them
for sale. And he wants small
bundle of drugs, dry goods or groce.
ries, he can have it sent by mail.
1t will be a great convenience
to the country, and we shoulC
like to see if our people inter
est themselves in getting as many
of these routes as possible. Those
who want the carriers to come
their way should bestir themselves
about the matter; but those WHIT
want to do the riding, needn't all
! speak at once.

Both HUNTINGTON and Lawrence
burg went "dry" Monday, and by

town that gets chance these days
goes dry. Had you noticed that?
The whole country will go dry one of
these days. Under the law Colum-
bia cannot go entirely dry just yet;
but the first Of April we hope to see
1t go as dry as it cam that Is from 8
o'clock In the evening until day

should drive anybody out of the

be one Of the purposes and one Of the
good results Of the law. Those who
have license and want to surrender
them, can get their money back.
