MOCKING BIRD VS BULL DOG
DOG TAKES TO HEEI-S
An ordinary mocking bird attack-
ed and put to flight a bulldog at Coli-
seum and Napoleon avenues in New
Orleans, Wednesday, much to the
chagrin of the owner of the dog and
amusement of street car passengers
and spectators. The bull pup was
strolling along placidly wigging his
nubbin of a tail when the bird swoop-
ed down from a shade tree, alighted
on the dog's back and began its at-
tack on the abbreviated tail The
astonished dog suddenly sat down
whereupon the bird changed Its tac-
tics bj| darting at the animal In swift
rushes, pecking shrill notes of •< igor.
The dog stood it for a few seconds,
and suddenly bolted, yelping

PROHIBITION FALSE ISSUE
IN GOVERNOR'S CAMPAIGN
Hamilton Herald.
The Herald believes in practical
politics and practical religion If we
want a man to preach the gospel to a
(lying world we don’t care whether
he la for Colquitt or Ramsey or any
body else for governor. If we want a
man for governor we are not parti-
cularly concerned as to whether he
favors local option or state-wide pro-
hibition. or if he Is opposed to both
We want a man that can "make good"
on the Job he has in hand We want
an honest man as governor and an
honest man as preacher. But we
don't want the governor to fill the
pulpit nor the preacher to act as gov-
ernor. There are many things neces-
sary In a man's make-up to fit him for
his peculiar position, and we must
not judge his qualifications for one
position by the requirements of the
other. ,
Tlie automatic tax board has found
It possible under the increased ren-

duction in the rate of 2 1-2 cents on
the one hundred dollars tax valua-

early in the year levied the tax the
state tax for the county at the same
rate as last year, under the general

ject to revision, however, and this re-
vision downwards will be officially
recognised by the county commission-

CHILD SWALLOWED GRASS BI RR
/REMOVED WITH DIFFICULTY
Gertie, the fourteen years old
daughter of A F. Simpson, who re-
sides four miles west of Dublin was
in a serious condition for several
hours Monday night by reason of hav-
ing a grass burr caught deep In her
throat, in fact below the throat pro-
per in the lower portion of the swal-
low. The burr was in some butter
tnilk which the child was drinking
and passed down the swallow with
the milk before the sharp points
caused a lodgment in the membranes
Without an operation it required ex-
pert skill of two physicians for some
time to remove the burr

The leg of Hill Paxton, of Stepbeu-
vllle, aged thirteen, was broken late
Saturday evening, July 13tb. when he
left art incoming Frisco freight train

ing with his uncle Mack McRwris, a
farmer, to Dallas to see his sister,
whom he hadn't seen for sometime
According to the troy's story, he
had been intending to go to Dallas to
see his sister for some time and on
Saturday was at the station In Steph-
enville and was thinking of going to
Dallas
He said I didn't want to go on
the freight train, but the brakemnn
whom I had never seen kept on af-
ter me and I got on and paid the man
six-bits When asked why the Ulan
Should have insisted on his
the freight he said I guess that it j
meant six-tilts in his pocket The
