Representatives. Frank l..
Johnson, of this county, will please
present a bill to this Legislature,
which will be of much Importance
to the farmers, whose lands adjoin
the public highways, and this bill
should impose fine on every per-
son in the county who allows his
hogs to run at large on the public
roads.
This is the only way to protect
the farmer from the roaming, root
ing, razznrbacks that infest the
public roads at present.
Only small proportion of fam
lilies undertake to keep and raise
hogs on the public highways TO the
worry and damage oftentimos of
other people.
Under what rule of right, theory
or Justice, process of reasoning, or
sense of common honesty, can it be
fairly insisted that the majority of
the population should contribute to
the support of the hogs of the few
families who insist on raising them
on the public highways?
Building fences, at the present
time, pig-tight, is expensive, and
one old sow and pigs can do more
damage in 4 corn field or garden in
a single night than can be repaired
in a week, and often not in the en-
tire season.
The owners of these hogs, in
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
are irresponsible parties.
Let the cows and calves, horses
and sheep, if you will, run on the
highways to eat the grass that
would 60 to waste, and the noxious
weeds, but stop the hogs, pray stop
the hogs, Mr.. Johnson.

WHEN JOHNNY COMES
MARCHING HOME

One of the prettiest stage pictures
that has been evolved this season
accompanied the proceedings in
the second act of "When Johnny
Comes Marching Home" the new
patriotic comic opera that comes
TO the Capital Theatre, tonight,
January 9. The delicacy and re-
finement of scenic art is beautifully
illustrated in the back drop, repre-
senting a river traversing the lush
boom lands of the Mississippi, and
in the foreground, occupied by a
weather worn mansion, familiar on
the big cotton plantations of the
South before the war, bit of the
negro servants quarters, Chamber
ing rose bushes and widespreading
trees. 1t is a mOonlit scene, and
the lighting is managed so we'll
that the shimmering effect of the
moons beams on the river is repro
duced in way that is said to
create a charming illusion.
The care taken by the manage
ment to beautify this scene and to
make it as captivating and alluring
as possible goes still further. The
period of the action at this time in
the spring time of the year, when
the voices of nature make music in
the silent watches of the night.
The dancing firefiies that point the
dusk with dots of light add to the
fascinating deception and tile mu-
steal murmurings of melancholy
frogs, those unquiet spirits of the
marhlands, whose softer cadences
invite Growsiness as easily as their
raspng crOakings, when they are
in full tune, Danish it, complete
the effect. The imitation of the
evening hymn of these lowly crea-
lures is as perfect and beguiling as
that of the chipping of the cricket
in Joseph Jefferson's presentment
of 1.-The Cricket on the Hearth. y
1t is heard at the rising of the cur.
tain on the scene, and may easily
escape the inattentative ear of the
person only conscious of the gen
eral beauty of the stage picture. l
dies away shortly. but it fingers il
the memory of the sensitive anC
impressionable spectator as fas
cinating incidental in the produc
ton and as happy thought on tn,
part Of the producer, Mr.. F. G
Whitney. 1t is this attention t.
detail that is so satisfying to any
enc having the artistic sense.

The great number of dyspeptics is
increasing daily. This is due to
hurried eating and lack of care in
selecting proper food.
There is nothing more effective to
the rundown digestive organs than
pure pepsin, and while pepsin alone
corrects the overworked digestive
organs, IA tonic, such as pure port
wine, is also necessary to keep them
in this condition.

found in all drug stores, combines
in exact proportions the purest
pepsin and richest port wine. II is
