WAYCR0SS STRUGGLING WITH
THE cow QUESTION AGAIN

Waycross, Ga, Aug. 5.-At the last
city election when the cow was voted
off the streets of Waycross, the COW
question was not settled by any
means. 1t is now being agitated more

Council will again consider the COW
ordinance at the next meeting.
The men employed to keep the
streets clear of cows are getting into
all kinds of difficulties, and the MEM
bers of the City Council are besieged
with requests from COW owners who
want the ordinance repealed. Those
who are against the COW are also taxi
ing a hand in the matter. and the COW
question is again the principal topic
of conversation on the streets.

Younrster Was Bright.

'I was much amused the other day."
said an uptown hardware dealer, &C.
cording to the New York Press, "at a
small boy who came around looking for
q job. One Of the clerks had dropped
a lot Of sharp-pointed tacks into a
draw Of brass screws, and had given
up the idea Of taking them out.
when the youngster turned up
looking for Job we thought we would
try him out by letting him sort the
two articles. He went at it the same
way we had begun picking out the
tacks, with his fingers, and getting
the point Of every third tack in the
ball Of his thumb.
He had enough in about minute.
and he Strengthened up. We all be-
gan to smile, and expected him to give
up the job. Instead Of that, he went
over to the showcase and picked out q
horseshoe magnet. Then he came back
to the box. In thirty seconds he had
the tacks out and the screws were
still in the compartment. He knew
that the magnet would attract iron.
and not brass. and in jiffy he had
accomplished what we had been trying
to do an morning. .
1--WE didn't really need boy, but
this chaps smartness appealed to US,
sand we find him so handy to have
around that next Saturday he gets a
raise .

RT ARTHUR WHERE THE RUSSIAN SHIPS WERE SUNK.

reviving the blackened centre Of the

Incidental to the plans for rebuild

widening some Of the city's streets. 1t
is planned by the city officials to urge
widening Baltimore street, turning
Market place into public square, and
widening Light street. The matter will
be taken up by the authorities very
soon. and it may be that the plan Will
include condemning several blocks for
park purposes.

"I have appointed a committee OF
