Him $3.50 Because of a ST Tax

The shepherd dog Of James shep-
pard, who lives in the jurisdiction of
Justice of the Peace L. M. Runnels,
has cost Mr.. Sheppard exactly $3.50
because the shepherd did not insist
upon Mr.. Shepherds paying the shep-
herds canine tax.
The tax due on the shepherd was
only 81. But for some unexplained
reason, Mr.. Sheppard couldn't see
separating himself from one buck for
the shepherd, although the dog was
recognized as good one, and well
worth the dollar demanded.
So the dog license man took the
matter up with Squire Runnels. He
lodged a violent protest against dog
owners who refused to pay their ca
nine taxes. He grew personal and
specific in the case of Mr.. Sheppard,

The boy who smokes cigarettes, the
trustees stated, weakens his mind,
spots his fingers, odorfies his breath.
and throws away his spare change.
Also the boy who is profane among
other boys, sooner or later will let slip
a curse word among girls. The two
are bad combination, the trustees
averred, and shall be blotted out, so
far as the time spent at school is con-
cerned.
Consequently, every Hattiesburg
school boy, be he large or small, must
leave his papers and "the makin's"
behind when he starts to school in the
morning. During recesses, and while
he is about the grounds during school
hours, no smoking will be allowed.
The teachers have been given instruc,
tions to keep close lookout for these
Eyiolators.
