Since zone good turn deserves

getful of the fact that the young
ones are Just old enough to walk
and are still dependent on their
mothers milk for nourishment. 1t
occurs to the writer that this prac-
tice is both cruel and unsportsman-
like. Would these same gentlemen
shoot a quail, the mother of
brood, or a doe, leaving the young
fawn to starve? No surely not,
and yet they chase the foxes, some
times allowing the dogs to kill the
young litter unawares, or still
worse, catch the old ones, leaving
the young to die of starvation.
Many people, including the writer,
spend considerable money to secure

cause inventive genius receives poor
encouragement from Our people
and our intellectual bent does not
go that way. Our crops are the

to the southern states. Alas two
events have been announced in the

T. Launder were in the south, from
which journey they returned two
J weeks ago, they had personal ex-
perience of unusual interest and
, pleasure. The doctor had a special
? desire to visit the battle field of
! Magnolia church, which was the
, scene of the first engagement of the
Vicksburg campaign and in which
he participated. Returning from
New Orleans they came up the Mis-
sissippi valley, and on the morning
of Sunday, Feb. 24th, stopped at
Port Gibson, Miss, and drove a
distance of four miles in a south
west direction to the battle field of
Magnolia church, where the doctor
in his humorous vein identified with
great particularly and ecomiums of
gratitude The very tree that pre-
served him for future usefulness
while carnage ragged all about him.
Magnolia church stands where it
stood forty-four years ago, with
the marks of time on, it and the
ravages of battle uneffaced. In the
early days it was the place of wor-
ship of the white aristocracy, but
is now occupied by a colored con-
gregation.
The special and personal pleas
ure of the visit, however, was in
meeting Mr. A. K. Shaifer, who is
yet living at the age of eighty
years and is we'll preserved, where
he lived during and before the war.
He is very fine specimen of the
southern gentleman, chivalrous,
courteous and hospitable, whom it
is distinct pleasure to meet. He
gave the travellers welcome that
they will not soon forget and en-
.tertained them during their neces-
sarily short stay with charming
hospitality. His home is spacious
with open courts and fire places,

farm consists of 500 acres of red
soil which requires much fertilizer
and intense farming to make it pro-
