If the wayfarer had paused late Thursday afternoon as he ap- proached the POISON bridge from Ei- SPREADERS dell's addition he would have heard plainly the sobbing of a little child. Had he investicated the cause of the sorrow he would have found a little girl huddled near the lifeless body of a little dog. Someone -- bid — peisoned Gypsy, the playmate of little Maggie Harmon. It is useless to attempt to lo- cate the offender, a piece of meat thrown by the roadside, perhaps for some other dog, was picked up by this harmless little animal who in a few moments was in the throes of death. Words can- not express the contempt for such a cowardly act. If you have a grievance against a dog go to its master like a man and say so. Don't scatter pois- oned meat in a neighborhood where any dog bit the right one I is liable to get a hold of it. The majority of people, upon learning that their dog is annoying you, will put a stop to it immediately by tieing him up or disposing of of him in a humane manner. During the past few months many valuable dogs have been :1 dfn vatlbarieetions o 4 the county. Alberton at one time had a wholesale slaughthr, and DeBorgia and Saltese also felt hand of the poisoner. a Now in our midst the life of a family pet has gone out and a little girl made inconsolable. The following article appeared in The Augusta Times a short time ago entitled, \To the Cur Who Killed My Dog:\ \Some skunk in the form of man has killed my companion an friend. Truer friend than Tom never lived. He was honest and trustworthy—always to be relied upon. There was not a particle Of deceit or guile about him and when I spoke to him and looked I into his eyes, I could see affection for me written all over his honest countenance. He was young, clean. strong, quick and vigor- ous. I raised him from a puppy, and now some whiskey guzzling, tobacco defiled brute of a man has wantonly destroyed him. I wish I knew who that man is. I would like to tell him a few things that v73uld not look good in print. I'll bet the man who killed Tom never had an honest impulse in his life, never did a noble thing, never made anyone happy, is mean, selfish, deceitful, unreliable, untrustworthy, has no affection for anyone or any- thing but his own sordid self, and hasn't a drop of good blood in his veins. I'll bet that he is a cur, and is everything that poor Tom was not. Signed, Will J. Rendall.\ LOCATE MAN AT ENEVILLE Pete Nelson, the man wanted in conm ction with the powder robbery at DeBorgia a few weeks ago, was taken into custody last week by Deputy Sheriff Rosen- baum, of Haugan. Nelson was located at Eneville, Idaho, where he was working under an assum- ed name.

By lvi. QUAD Copyright, 1915, by McClure News- paper Syndicate. it was Enos ilopkius who got the Idea that Sand Hill should prove her patriotism to the world at large by displayin' the American flag for seven days a week. He got the idea one Sun- day mornin' as he lay in bed, and he hugged it to his soul and chuckled over It for a week before he said anything to a llvin' soul. Everybody knew by' his actions that somethin' was up. At length, when Saturday night came and there was the usual crowd at the pestoffice, he shot off his gun. He had his speech all prepared. Ile told how the American flag was first hung to the breeze; how men cheered for liberty as they saw it; how it had given hap- piness to millions. Men had fought cheerin' for that flag, and men had died blessin' it. He wanted it h'isted in Sand Hill at sunrise every day in the year, and he wanted children to cry for it and men and women to ven- erate it. As soon as the crowd had recovered from its surprise and began to cheer Deacon Black said it was a mighty strong p'int and one worthy of a lead- in' patriot of Sand Hill. He was heart- ily in favor of the idea, and he would then and there contribute 13 cerits to- ward the purchase of a public flag. Then Hosea Saunders spoke. His grandfather had died while fightin' under the stars and stripes. His fa- ther had fallen and killed himself while climbin' a flagpole. His mother had wrapped him in the flag of liberty when he was born. It was hard times and money was tight, but he would go without tobacco for a month In order I to contribute a shillin' toward the pur- chase of a flag. With his own hands, if agreeable to all, he would h'ist the emblem at sunrise and lower it at sunset durin' the rest of his natural life. The deacon said that was also a beautiful speech, with a mighty strong p'int to it, and the feelin's of the crowd had got so worked up over freedom and liberty that tears stood in many eyes. Hosea was followed by Squat.' Joslyn, Plailetus Williams. Abraham White and others, and thar was fre- quent cheerin' and shakin' hands. About ten years ago 4 Abijah David - son's dog tore the ear off a hog owned by Joel Hardman, and the men had been enemies ever since, but under the excitement and patriotism engendered by the speeches they fell into each oth- er's arms and became brothers ag'in. It was settled that a public contribu- tion should be taken up to buy a fifteen dollar flag, and then came the question of where it should be raised, Enos Hopkins, - who had -started It - atilz - 13' 4 4 up in a oxelest way and said he would go to the expense of plantin' a pole in front of his house. It was on high ground and the flag could be seen from every house in town. \We wouldn't put Enos to all that trouble,\ said Deacon Black as he rose tip. \He's done his sheer in thinkhe out the plan. I'll see that the flag is duly displayed from the roof of my cooper shop when it arrives.\ \What's the matter Ifistin' it over ray grocery?\ asked Dan Skinner as he wiped the tears of emotion from his eyes. \It isn't as high as some places, but more centraL\ Then everybody bobbed up and de- manded to be heard. Every man pres- ent wanted that flag in front of his house or place of business and no- where else, and purty soon they was shakin' their fists and sayin' they'd be durned if they wouldn't have it there or refuse to contribute a red cent. There was a lively row on in two min - its, with no more weepin' over pa- triotism. Deacon Black rattled on the stove- pipe with his cane until he quieted the racket, and then he said: \Feller patriots, have we no public speerit among us?\ \We have!\ yelled the crowd. \Then let us exhibit it. Rein' my cooper shop is the highest buildin' in town and bein' the American flag has got to filpflop in the breeze to be seen and venerated. I unselfishly offer to put up a pole and take charge of the flag.\ \So do ir shouts every man in the crowd. Then Squar' Joslyn made a speech. He told how a million men had died for that flag, how its stars and bars had made tyrants tremble, how a young eation had worshiped it and made all the world respect it. Il.e wound up after ten mtnits by offerin to float it from his hoes barn, but ()fey hisses and groans followed. There was sighs that three or four patriots woul I soon be punchin' each other's beads when Tom Bates strolled in in that carelesi way of his. Deacon BlaJc pounded and rattled till he got order and then said: \I want to hear from Tom Bates on this matter. Mebbe he can suggest sunthin. Tom, what place in town would you say the American flag ought to float - from?\ \How many stars are there in the American flag?\ calmly asked Taw. Nobody could tell. \Well how many stripes?\ Nobody could tell. \'Pears to me.\ said Tom as he start- ed to wander out ag'in—\ to ma that as none of you can tell the differ- ence between the American flag and a tablecloth you'd better hang up an old army blanket most anywhere and let it go at that!\ And at the end of five intuits more re wasn't a patriot left in the poet- . and nothin' more has ever been said about buyin' a public flag.
