Pleasant Birthday Party.

On last Friday afternoon, little
Sammie aud James QUITS the II
and year old sons of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. G.. QUITS entertained very
delightfully."- at birthday party for
80 or more of their little friends at
their home near Trenton.
Games of varied kinds were en-
joyed by these happy little folks,
and when they had played to their
hearts content, they all marched
into the beautifully decorated din
ing-room, made more lovely by the
pink and white decorations.
There were two lovely cakes one
for each of the little hosts. One
held pink candles, and the other
white ones.
Here the children were served
with ice cream and cake and pink
lemonade. The little girls who
served were Leila Bland Tompkins
and Willie Padgett assisted by Mas
ter w. G. QUITS, Jr.
All such happy occasions are
long remembered by the fortunate
little folks who are recipients of an
invitation. Many happy returns Of
the day to our little friends Sammie
and James, and may they live long
to be a comfort and JOY to their
parents.

The Nuisance Who Tries to "Stuff" the
Newspapers.

The Rutland News has had another
experience with that nuisance, who from
motives of malice or perverted ideas o.
humor, tries to foist upon a newspaper Z
| false item, connecting the names of &
man and woman a about to be married
Happily, this newspaper investigated tho
| facts in this case and was mot imposed
upon. That makes no difference. how
ever, as it was the intention of the con
tributor to impose upon it, and to en-
barrass the ones whose names were con
tanned in the item.
The Rutland News. in common with
the Rutland Herald, some time ago prom
ised the public that the name of anyone
guilty of this offense, If il could be es-
tablished beyond peradventure of doubt,
would be given To the public. Ii had
every intention of keeping that promise.
1t refrains from publishing the name on
this occasion solely at the behest of a
very near friend of the guilty young
man.
The one who attempted TO commit the
offense has this letter from The Rutland
News to ponder upon today, and il j.
hoped that he makes a mental resolve
not to attempt to give newspaper
false item again but that he viii also
use his efforts to dissuade others so in
clined from engaging in the same scurvy
business;
we have no desire to uphold for pub
lie detestation any man. to his own per
sonal discomfort, or to the injury of his
business. II is simply matter of pro
fessional honesty. A newspaper does no,
want fraudulent goods put upon il any
more than one wants in his business TO
be sold wormy beans or other worthless
goods. To a newspaper the truth of
its news is an absolute necessity, Just
as much as i the case with goods in a
store. They must be as represented.
The storekeeper who bought goods
from somebody incorporating them
would prosecute the fraud A newspaper
feels the same way about anyone who
attempts to have il print items that are
false A newspaper tries to appreciate.
and thinks II does. jokes. But the most
serious thing that newspaper can Joke
about is the connection Of the names Il

Millions in Livestock Destroyed on
Tracks.

} Through the negligence of livestocl
owners food animals valued at $4,000
were killed on the tracks of the CeAtra
of Georgia railway during the first nin
months of this year, According to I
statement of the vice-president and gen
eral manager of that road, 1862 head o
stock We're needlessly wasted in thi'
manner. the average value of which was
Approximately $40 TO 81 per head. Fine
dairy cows and beef cattle were included
as well as hogs, sheep, geese, etc.
During those nine months one animal
was killed for every mile of track on the
Central of Georgia, and if that figure
can be accepted as basis for estimating
the less for the entire country, the de-
struction of food animals on the railway
tracks of the United States during the
first nine months of this year can be put
at S2,760J000 or $3,6S0,000 for the whole
year.
THAT is very serious loss to the
country and its allies at this time" said
Secretary Redfied in statement issued
| by his department to-day, "and gives
point to the opinions recently expressed
! by L. w. Baldwin, vice president and
general manager of the Central of
Georgia railway, and published in the
, Savannah Morning News Mr.. Bald
wins opinions are here reprinted in part:
For the nine months up to Oct of
this year there were killed on our tracks
! 1862 head of stock, the average value of
which is approximately $40 to Sll per
head. Some of these are fine dairy cows
and beef cattle, and other head include
hogs, sheep geese, etc.
"In practically all of these 1862 in
stances, the owners of the stock have
allowed the animals to roam upon or
near the railroad right of way, and, with
the characteristic fright of dumb ami
mails, they do not know how to protect
their own lives, but rush pell nell in
front OF our locomotives, and the en-
gineer has little chance to avoid striking
them. After it is killed the animal is
not considered fit for food, and even
though the owner received compensation
from the railway to cover his individual
loss, so much food has been lost which
would benefit the country at this time.
Just now, when there is being con
Quoted a nationwide campaign for the
OF food. and when each of
us is being asked to do his bit toward |
saving something to eat. would it not be
fair and right for the owners of livestock |
to keep their cattle within range and |
away from the railroad tracks, where |
they trespass to the ultimate cost of |
everyone? | consider this a question Sc
rious enough to merit the instant consid-
Grafton of every county and every mu
as well as every individual,
and if there are localities where proper
laws do not exist with respect to roam
ing livestock, suitable laws ought to be
lrafted and passed. Assuming that 9TH
n railroads have about the same expert
snce that we have, the economic loss in
his state, and in the country, every
year, from this cause must be enor
