Cicero Goodwin, satan Ponder, and Ahaoueris
Atkins. are three noted dogs and importantfa fac
tors IN the population of Mi!tO1. There are
many other dogs Ia Milton, but none with such
classic names, and none that developed such ar
fnity for man, aud love Of play and irolic. Cic-
ero Goodwin, named in honor OF the Great RO-
man Orator, is ten months old fine looking
pup. glossy black, and brindle breast. He is a
wedding present to Mrs Elizabeth Goodwin from
Captain George &. NJ egee. the Milton dealer In
steamboats,, built pups and other vegetables.
cicero is a mirthful dog playful and loving and
always wants to kiss everyone he sees especially
the girls Satan Ponder, named after the myth
cal enemy Of man, is AS black as tradition paints
the animal after whom he is named. We are ig
norant OF bis age, likewise his geneology. He
hasa stump tail how he lost the bushy part We
do not know. Perhaps it was cut of when he
was young and put under the door step to keep
him at home II so. the experiment failed in its
purpose for II you want to find satan don't go to
his home. He is essentially dog of the street.
satan is also a loving dog. Ahasueris Atkins
named after the ruler Of the ancient kingdoms Of
Media aud consOrt Of the beautiful Esther Of Bib
lical History is a day OF many and varied beauti-
ful colors. He Is Of the bull dog persuasion. and
his physique does not belle his ancestry. OF his
geneOlOgy we are also ignorant We think how
ever, ne is an immigrant and foreign born. All
ssueris is Of more docile disposition than his
species is credited with. When these three dogs
go on their rampage on the street, and have a
play. It is often near the home of Ahasueris, for
Ahasueris is a home dog ana seldom goes from
thence except in company with his protectors
Cicero and Satan do most OF the wallouring In
the street while Ahasueris, afraid Of sOiling his
clothes, walks the pavement with a profound
look as though he were studying the mulupica-
tiOn tables. These are trio Of happy dogs; and
the town is fortunate in having such CANNES.
ANY other municipality may we'll envy Milton.
