County Prospers
From, Dog License
And in that town a dog was found,
AS many dogs there be,
Both mongrel, puppy, whelp and
hound,
And ours of how degree.
-Goldsmith

From cur to airedale, through the
whole gamut of caninedom-collie
shepherd bird dog, poodle, hound
bull dog, feist rat terrier, big and
little, old and young, account and
no-account to the tune of some
$3.50 they are licensed to exist in
the County of Henry, because their
owners have paid the dog tax from
which this county was not exempted
along with some other counties in
the state at the last legislature.
The dog tax of $1.O0 and $500
was paid last year on over 1000
dogs in this county. It's story al
ways discloses interesting personal
details.
Perhaps the oldest dog in the
county, at least the Oldest one on
which the tax to date has been
paid, Is a white feist, of eighteen
brief years, christened Pup and
owned by Jack Wilson of the fif-
teenth district. Other canine patri-
arches of the county include suen
favorite with master or mistress as
John Henry" aged IA years, a white
shepherd owned by Morris Haynes;
sport a black and white hound
sixteen years old whose devoted
owner is Rufus Porter, colored,
Springville
Imagination pictures Sport d
toothless, amiable Old hound, his
masters constant companion, a
grand" possum dog, the little picIla-
ninnies' friend, the cats horrid en-
envy.
Jas. Caldwell, colored, Of the fifth
district has paid tax on dog,
probably aptly described as BLACK
cur whose age is given at II years,
sole description black.
1t appears from the assessora
books that the colored owners Of
dogs have paid the tax more prompt
ly on their beloved pets than the
white folks" and very many of the
taxable dogs owned in Henry County
belong to colored masters, this one
to a famous possum hunter, that
one to a little niger boy, wno
sleeps, eats, plays, and lives with his
canine companion, on whom he
lavishes utmost devotion and affec-
ton that are triply returned
The most of the dogs in the coun-
ty range from one to six years old.
Several are fourteen years old-a
brown and white hound, named
Johnnie belonging to Herman Henry
a black shepherd named Bob, owned
py 4. c. Paschall, Cottage Grove;
a brown and black hound named
Watch, the property of r. l.. Cole,
Springville: a shepherd named
Snooks, OF e. Harding's; a black
shepherd, named Fred, whose owner
is Alex Daniel, colored, OF the sec
ond district, and others.
Hounds, ours, and feistes seem to
exist in this county to the most
substantial old age, perhaps not so
much a proof of the survival Of the
fittest as a process of elimination.
But the blindness of love woEld
perhaps hold good in canine love-
for the love of master and log Is
almost a human love and .Gt doS
owners pay the tax willingly and
readily.

A crowd that filled carton Field

hard hitting Paris sluggers Wednes-

their third straight win from the
kentuckians to. the tune of 7 to l..
There was some semblance of a
fight in the Reds when the game
opened, but this disappeared whea
! the locals knocked Goodwin out OF
the box in the first aud second
frames, netting one run in the first
and four in the second. Ciresi, first
sacl<er Tor the visitors, took the
mound in behalf of his fallen team
mate, and because of the fact that
the Mayfield management had
deemed il unnecessary to bring any
expert hurlers for the contest with
the "easy marks. And LET it bt
said here that Ciresi didn't walh
any of the Paris s!uggers because
they hit him so hard and fast he
didn't get chance to put four balls
past any batter. Good fielding on
