There arrived here a few days
ago something entirely new and
newell in the line of prairie dog ex.
terminators and the experiment
will be watched with great deal
Of interest. The Rendrebrook
ranch received a pair Of English
ferrets from Illinois, and they
have been carried out and will be
tested as prairie dog exterminators.
The idea is to turn them loose in
the dog holes, and they will follow
the dog family clear down into
China or have their life's blood.
Il is said one Of these little ami.
mails can enter any hole a snake
can, and their appearance indicates
The claim TO be pretty well found

local clubs, to be appointed by the
presidents Of the various clubs.

enterprise. A public library is
something which should appeal
90 he general public as a step for
ward in municipal development,
and il should have the hearty sup.

have been secured and equipped
in towns smeller than Bryan, and

It will be remembered by our read
ers that about two years ago the mat
ter OF providing crest room" for the

but for some cause no definite steps
we're ever taken. The Light is glad
to note that the matter has again been
taken up and is now in the hands of
the Shakespeare Club and the chant es
are favorable that rest room may
come TO be one of the attractions and

AN ENQUIRY.

EDITORS JOURNAL Seeing so much
about correct answers to certain mat
tiers in your paper, I would like to SUBJ
NIT the following to the readers of the
Journal"
During the troublesome times pre-
ceding the surrender in 1885, one of
Graham's scouts (Bushwhackers) pick
ed up a little colored child near Mar
ietta, and made threatening remarks
of crrrying it off with him It's mother
asked the man to return her child. He
said Il will do so, if you will tell me
truly what is going to happen to it,
She answered petulantly "You WILL
NOT give me back my child" as she
feared his Invention of carrying it off
"Well," said he, that settles it. If |
GIVE YOU BACK your child you WILL NOT
be telling me truly what will happen to
it, as you said / WOULD NOT give it back
to you. If DO NOT give you back your
child YOU WILL then be telling me truly
what will happen to it. and I ought to
return it. What must do?"
About that time l left them. and
would like some Journal reader to ex-
plain it. JOHN D. WHITE.

No matter where city is located
and regardless of the fine country
which may surround it or the health
fulness of its climate, it will never take
that forward stride of prosperity for
which every place in the South is now
struggling, without few citizens filled
with public spirit, and ready to devote
at least part of their time, money and
brains to the public welfare of the place.
A few public spirited citizens can, re-
CARELESS of other inhabitants, do
great deal for their town or city, but
the greatest good can be accomplished
when all-old and young men, women
and children-are filled with public
spirit, and are ever ready to join any
movement looking to the public good.
The great majority of buyers are
compelled, because of the limitations
of their. incomes, to study the buying
power of dollar. 1t is not so much
spirit of economy as one of necessity.
Hence the majority of readers of news
papers are attracted most by those ad-
vertisements which state distinctly the
price at which articles that are describ-
ed may be bought. 1t is not enough
that the advertiser says they are dirt
cheap" or that he sells cheaper than
anybody else" The would-b buyer
prefers to judge for himself whether
the goods are reasonable in price, and
the only way to determine is to see the
prices at which they are offered.
"There is nothing" says Plato, AS
delightful as the hearing or speaking of
truth" For this reason there is no
conversation as agreeable as that of
the man of integrity, who hears with
out any intention to betray, and speaks
without any intention to deceive.
