Do FRENCH MOCKING BIRDS
Cruelty SPARROWS?

Mr.. John B. Samuels was in town
Saturday and had with him limb
cut from a plum tree, and impaled on
one of the thorns of the plum tree
was the body Of dead sparrow.
Mr. Samuels informs us that the
sparrow was killed and placed there
by French hooking bird, and that
the said hooking bird has a happy
way Of killing sparrows, rats and
Lizards and sticking them around on
thorns to be eaten as his appetite de-
mands.
We knew that the old blue jay
would kill and eat sparrows, but this
is the first we have heard of the
French mocker doing the same.
Nevertheless Mr. Samuels vouches
for it, and we do not doubt that it is
true
And just here we wish to say that
if the French mocker has a good APP
petite for English sparrows we hope
there will be an influx Of several
thousand to Thomson this spring

Bacon and he said he didn It know
what become Of the matter, but he
supposed that it went through all
right and the government paid the
money. He said, however, that the
thing is so big with so many depart

that it was impossible for one man
to keep up with it.
Did your man tell you Of the many
other gigantic schemes Of plumber
that Tom Watson is constantly ex-
posing, or does he sit back, saw wood
and say nothing, continuing to draw
his salary for duties not performed? 2
Say, brother, do you follow the
fellow that prays three hundred and
sixtyfour days in the year for God s
kingdom to reign supreme on earth
and walk up to the ballot box on the
three hundred and siXty-ffth day and
vote that the devil shall possess
all?
If you want me to follow you,
brother, you must lead toward God
and good government, otherwise [
shall follow the man who seemingly
has some feeling and consideration
for a fellow man.
Ii you want sane man to follow
you you must not lead in the direc-

legitimate industries, the elevation
of destructive agencies, the throwing

merciless world to be pitted against

our premium knives, with Mr.. Wat

been delayed in their work, and our
