A Revolving Act

Who would haye supposed that
tbare could have been found in the
county of Highland a man who
would deliberately take a playful
little kitten and drop it into a king
heater stove, Oh to bed of Goals
and allow it to remainthere. SINCE
inc and frying, until burned be-
yond recognition and to an extent
that it would have to be killed to
be put out Of its misery? No one
would have supposed that sach a
man could be found within the
limits of the county, but such is
the case for the act as outlined
above took place at the Commercial
Hotel on last court day, and it is
with profound sorrow and regret
that we make mention Of it.
At the time the heathenlsh pro
ceeding took place their were sew
eral persons in the room. and it
may take legal investigation to
determine the guilty party or par
ties. but that the little kitten was
purposely thrown in the stove and
horribly burned, is none the less
true. and one or more of the parties
present are responsible for the
crime.
That full and sufficient answer
shall be made uy the guilty, is de-
manded by a justly indignant
public.
A proceeding so barberous, with
out a single extenu ating feature to
rob it of at least portion of its
Nervousness, to simply be winked
at and allowed to pass would re-
fleet great discredit to the county.
Has a sane man, who would de-
liberately and willfull subject a
dumb brute to such torture, heart?

great shock to them. The mined

He will be greatly missed, not
only by his family, but by all. He
was kind, and obliging neighbor,
often disobliging himself to accom-
modate a friend. He had been a
member of the Methodist church a
number of years. and though not
demonstrating, led qaiet, consis-
tent christian life. He was buried
from the church at this place, on
last Sunday morning; funeral SER
vices conducted by his pastor, Rev.

his last resting place, in the Doe

There has been so much COM

to our Representatives to pass a
law authorizing the Board of Su-
pervisors to increase the county or
district school levy from ten per
cent. to twenty per cent. to be
used exclusively to increase the
pay of teachers. Some good people
say taxes are high enough while
others think we have enough
money to run the schools if prop
erly used. Both possibly are near
ly right, but we must confess with
shamefacedness that the schools
are now little better than none
at all.
Why not increase the levy ana
laise sufficient money to run our
schools properly; for every dollar
put in a boys head is worth more
to him now than an hundred dol
lars of real or personal property
left him as an inheritance. The
Constitution (if our memory serves
us right makes it mandatory on
the Board to prepare an itemlzed
account for publication OF every
dollar authorized to be paid out by
the county treasurer each year,
