The Hoe Nuisance on the Streets.

=tas ~ .
Though Brookhaven has an or
dinance against hogs running at
large on the streets, very little
more regard seems to be paid to
it by hog owners and those
whose duty it is to enforce it than
by the hogs themselves. In fact,
from the appearance of the mat
ter, it looks as though certain
owners of hogs in the city make
regular practice of turning
their swine out on the streets to
roam around as night scavengers,
whithersoever they choose to go.
It is no exaggeration to say
that it will cost the street hands
a good deal of labor and the city
a good many good dollars to sim
ply follow behind and repair the
damage these swine have done to
street and cutters on Cherokee
street alone during the past
week.
And this leads US to remark
that one is often tempted in
Brookhaven to wonder whether
city ordinances are adopted to
be enforced, or simply to show
how easy and often people may
violate them without paying the
prescribed penalty.

Don't Say Turkey.

E. Ell. Thompson, of Homo
chitto. sold wagon load of tur-
keys in this city last week. He
received from 5 90 to $3.50 each
for them, and could have sold as
many more. We understand
that he has sold altogether this
winter nearly one hundred dol
lars worth of turkeys. Mr..
Thompson is one of those farm
ers who knows a good thing
when he sees it, and he saw a
good thing in turkeys last spring.
Why it is the farmhrs do not
pay more attention to such
things is more than we can I'M
derstand. Today a chicken or
turkey can not be found on the
market in Wesson at any price,
yet there is a great demand for
them. - Wesson Enterprise.

British Newspaper Man.
A conspicuous British invader at the

the famous Spectator. No one who
studies his portrait will question the
strength of the character back of the
countenance, but, to our mind, Mr..
Strachey's most pleasing characteris-
tics are his incisiveness and breadth.
1t gees without saying that his early
education was neglected, because, for
sooth, this is his first visit to Ameri-
ca; nevertheless, he knows deal
more of our country than many of our
selves know. and, while viewing our
idiosyncrasies with that amused toler-
ance which no true Britisher can hide
and which, in turn, is amusing to us,
he is the most conspicuous, constitu-
ent and stanch friend of the United
States to be found in London. He is
also, in our judgment, the ablest Of

should come here end acquaint him
self with our people, and it is fitting
that We should express our pleasure
of seeing him with our wish that he
