work in Milton. William Crouch lost
= valuable rabbit hound by poison
on Friday and Walter W. Crouch
has a young rabbit dog that has been
made blind by the poison and will
have to be killed Several others re-
mort dead dogs. 1t is thought that
arsenic was used is the bodies OF
the dogs do not swell as if killed by
paris green or other pOisOns. A
Young bird dog of James H. Palmer
was shot some time last week and
on Sunday Mr.. Palmer found the
dog so badly shot that it was unable
to get home. He was compelled to

ones that have been assessed under
the dog tax law, while scores OF an
imals upon which no tags are paid,
escape.

the marsh lands at the headwaters
of the river have been crOaking, blue
birds are singing and the robins
have returned to this section. A
large flock of geese were seen pass
ing over Milton on Monday headed
north. 1t has been a long, disagree
able winter and the approach OF
spring will be gladly welcomed, by
the residents of this town. "
