Watch the chronic criminally in
clined begin to slack up on their law
infraction and get good Seemingly
as the district assizes draw near.
The Herald stands urequivOcally for
the enforcement OF law grounded in
right, and were we not to speak out
in favor of sucL policy would fee
that were degenerating into craven
coward. Greene County is one whose
court annals are seldom stained with
high crime trials, but we can point
with pride to the historic fact, that
when it becomes tie duty of the
freehOlders of Old Greene to seques-
trate from her society some degener-
ate, whose way of living is q perpe-
tual menace to the common peace,
that they have not failed to perform
that duty fedrlessIy and well. A
state of anarchy will inevitably fol
low where any political organization
neglects such necessary occasional
purgations. Certainly the coming
Grand Jury will inqu..e zealously and
ferret out, il there now he any such
pests to the peace and dignity of
the County Of Greene and state of
Mississippi.

use for one!is capable of introducing
law that would be bettermeut to
the people, when be don know the
value of what he is speaking about
and he surely does not for he said he
didn't have anything for them to run
and [ am satisfied he hasn't for il he
did he wouldn' t write as he does.
But am willing for the right side
to go through if it is right for the
dogs to be taxed Let it come but
if it is right [ think some of the
teaching of the Bible will have to be
left out.
From the best information we can
get from the Bible there were two
thousand years under the prophets
and two thousand years under the.
law and there has been one thousand.
nine hundred and nine years and.
nine months since Christ came INTO
the world that would make five
thousand nine hundred and nine
years and nine months in al from
the best we can understand, but
there is one thing we do know, and
that is that God created ali things in
six days and rested on the seventh,
and in the creation the dOg was Gre
ated and all this five thousand years
have passed and just the last few
months it has become 50 important
to have a dog tax.
think it would be an abo. lination
to make such d law. Just think
when the good old dog come out and
licked the sores on Lazarus when the
rich man refused to let him have the
crumbs that fell from his table; aud
where was the rich man when he lift
ed up his eyes and saw Lazarrs far
off in Abrahams bosom? Don t YOU
reckon the thought came through
his mind about the good Old dogs
showing more kindness to Lazarus
than he did when he refused to let
him have those crumbs.
So [ will close for this time with
best wishes to the good old Herald
and its readers.

DOg-OWEer'S Views Stated.

Dear Editor and Readers of The
Hcrald:-As | see more dog tax chat
[ will give the Sheep Man s friend
what think as [ am no enemy to
the sheep or any thing thatis right,
but | just say 90 farmer that lives in
those open piney-woOds can do With
out a dog J am not like the Sheep
Man S Friend have got hogs | can t
manage without a dog and If he had
hogs that could run as fast as some
of mine he would want every dog in
the county to help catch them.
l don't mind paying tax on dogs
if | could keep dog, but if l or any
of the rest of the nelghbors that did
not have any sheep vas to pay tax
on them it would be useless as he
would be out his tax money and dog
too: q dose of strychnine would fall
from some unGnown place and kill
the dog.
I have tried the sheep business and
when [ went into the business some
people told me a big herd of sheep
would eat up the little herd but did
not believe it was possible for SUCH
to be but l soon found it out. The
first year the big herd ate all the
wool off and ate all the lambs and
sold out my range sheep and kept
lily pet sheep and belled chem and the
big flock turned on them and ate
sheep. bells and all so | am in hopes
they will keep eating one another til
they get all eat up-then Gods sun
shine would feel to US like we were
living once more in brotherhood and
better Christians than we eyer have
been.
Now the Sheep Mans Friend said
he had been feeding a dog or two
fifteen years and they had not bene-
fitted him fifteen cents. ] don't blame
one for advocating such, but in q
country so thinly settled and nc
stock law we UAVEgot use for dogs.
People that live around towns have
not got any use for dogs like US who
live in the country and farm.
think people that have got sheep
ought to pasture them and keep them
on their own land. We keep our hogs
and dogs on our land as we don't
want our mich COWS to feed on the
range that sheep does as sheep are
filthy and for my dog | had just as
soon for any one to insult me as to
treat my dog wrongfully.
Good bye to all.

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
THE DOG SHEEP DEBATE.
Opposed to Dog Tax And WhyfOreS.

Dear Editor and readers:-As the
Dog and Sheep Discussion has come
about and the Sheep Mans Friend
said lets hear from all, it will not
take much space for me to give my
idea on that question.
don think it world be right to
impose a tax on the dogs, for the
Bible says cursed is he that selleth
his dog; and | thiak that it would be
a curse to tax the dogs.
Just think for minute when the
rich man refused to even let Lac lrus
have the crumbs that fell from his
table, the good old dogs came out
and licked his sores and doubtless
looked at him with eyes of pity, but
the man would not let him have the
crumbs that fell from his table and it
is the same today-tbe dog have more
sympathy for his master than a heap
of men have for their fellowman.
And as for sheep know that
they have caused more confusion
than anything that has ever been in
our country and it was not from dogs
killing them and that is the reason
there is not so very many men that
own sleep now.
1t is just because there they have
always got up hard feelings with the
people where they are in the country.
They have caused good citizens that
was trying to live as christians, and
do right, to say and do things that
was not their will to do
! The Sheep Man Friend said he
lad owned a hog or two for fifteen
years and they had never benefited
him fifteen cents. But if he meant
BOGS Wien he said hogs, that
stands for enough about him, for
/ there is not any kind of live stock
that can be raised more probably
than hogs. There is more money in
twenty-five head of hogs in twelve
months than there is in fifty head of
sheep and we need the dog to manage
the hogs with and there has been
dogs ever since Adam. ana | don t
think it would be right since 1910
years passed in this Christian Dis
peLsation to put ii tax on the dog
that has been free from tax. So L
will close, with best wishes to the
Herald and its readers.

Poor Man Answers Sheep Mans Friend.

Dear Editor and readers:-I see
the Sheep Mans Friend has come
back again but he hasn't given his
name yet | would like for him to
give his name the next time he
comes. He said that [ talked like |
thought he meant for the seed OF
dogs to be lost, and 1t really appear
ed that way to me from his talk.
The Bible says cursed is he that
selleth his dog, and in another place
it says thou shalt not bring the hire
Of who're or the price Of a dog into
the house of the Lord thy God for
any vow for even both these are a.
domination unto the Lord thy God.
Deuteronomy % Chapter IS VERSE.
Now if it be an abomination to
bring the price of dog into the Lord
it would also be an abomination to
tax them for sure thing that which
/ is taxed has to be valued at price,
and if it be curse to sell dog
think it would be the same to tax q
dog.
The Sheep Mans Friend said the
Lord commanded US to Love thy
neighbor as thyself, and if he had tc
keep dog to go about and Kill at
his neighbors sheep he was not keep
hing the commandment. | think
that the Lord give US to keeI
and if the people would try to keep
this command and the others that
the Lord give, there would not be sc
much confusion in our country and
am quite sure there would not be ST
much talk of taxing dogs for Goo
knows the poor people of our country
have to pay enough taxes already
without paying tax on their dog.
I think if Mr. Sheep Man S Friend
will read his Bible more and find out
what it says about the price of q dog
or the money that is received from
selling dog he will say less about
taxing the dog. He also said there
was not enough coons, opossums ano
hogs for the dogs to run and he also
said that he didn't have coons, opos-
sums or hogs for them to run and
many others that he could mention.
If he has not got anything for a dog
to run and hasn't got any use for one
| don't see why he is SO interested in
making people that have cot dog
pay tax on them.
| don think that man that has
not got any dog and has not got any
