Mr. Louis Haney whose illness
we failed to mention last week, is
again able to work. He has lost
some valuable time in his crop,
but we hope that fair weather will
prevail and that he will soon re-
gain his losses.
A heavy wind and rain storm
passed over this section last Mon
day night, destroying an abun-
dance Of timber, fruit trees, etc.
Barns belonging to Messrs Lem
Burns and James Hubbard. ST.,
were blown down but no stock
was injured. We suppose that
everybody is glad that no more
damage was done, than was.
The game law, the tick law and
the dog law is being discussed and
perhaps cussed just now. The
game law is of no Importance to
us as we have no game of any
note except rabbits and quails.
The dog law effects some people
but not the writer, as he has not
owned a dog in 20 years, but if |
had 10 cents a dozen for all the
eggs that old strolling, worthless
dogs have sucked in that 20 years
/ could make nice payment on a
car. The dipping law will effect
every man in this state who owns
a COW. Those that have large
pastures and can raise some cat.
tie will be benefited but the rent.
ers and small land owners will not
be benefited. A man from Ala
bama told me that as whole il
was a nuisance, he said that rair
or shine You must carry your cat
tie and dip them every two weeks
This law seems to be the ricf
mans law, if there are such laws
The expense of the preparation
for dipping must be borne by thu
tax payers, the loss of time whil'
dipping must be borne by those VIII
own cattle and only those who
raise cattle for the market will
derive any benefit from it. TIL,
facts are, that the dog law is jus
as needful as the dipping law
especially if people ever rails
sheep and goats, which no doub
they will do on small scale if TIL
price remains good. But at pres
! ent both laws are no good to T6h
, o:ningo county as we see it. 8u
/, either of them will be as beneficia
to the majority Of the people a
most of the great state institr
tons are. Very few people eve
derive any benefit whatsoeve
from them, yet they almost bank
rupt the state. 1t would b
amazing to know just the exaC
amount of money they cost tn
Y state each year. In our judgmer
{, there is going to be a great reckon
!. ing some day and the sooner
comes the better. Respectfully,

On June 9Th the soul of ID L
Whitehurst returned to the God
who gave it. 4
1t has been my pleasure and
profit TO know him since | was a
small boy. As citizen he was
on the right side of every ques.
ton. AS christian he was con-
scienciols, loyal and punctual to
every call of his church. AS a
parent, his supreme desire was to
see his children educated christian
gentlemen and women. How
we'll he accomplished this desire
is attested by the position filled
by these children. May they live
long to honor the father and
mother who gave them such
high conception of the duties and
responsibilities of Life. The best
we can wish them is that when the
end of this life comes to them that
they-may be able to do as he did,
look upon deatr- without fear.
Among his last words was the
remark that he must go on to the
better world.
May the benedietion of such a
life be with us always.
