Whllo the department of the county police la not conducted on the aame plan ns tho weather department, there are certain slims and omens which me considered as Infallible ns those upon which Mr. Marbury bases his forocustu at the weather. Ono of these Is: A season of doff poisoning Is Inevita bly followed by an epedlmlc of thlovery. The recent wholesale slaughtering -f dogs by the poisonous doso in West End has given rise to this prognosti cation. and the members of the county police force are keeping & weather eye out for those "who break In nnd steal.** A similar Instance of dog poisoning In West End several years ago wus recalled by County Policeman John .'Oliver Wednesday morning. I "At that time," said the officer, "the 1 dogs of Sheriff Nelms fell victims to I nolson. and. In fact, nearly every dog I ‘ In the community was disposed of l.t the same way. Immediately afterward chickens began to disappear by the coop, and n number of other thefts I were committed before the thieving ' gang was broken up#" West Enders are accordingly warned to keep hen roosts under look and key or get a fresh supply of dogs. Up to date nearly fifty dogs have been kilted by poison In West End during the past few days. YOUNG GEORGIA ORATORS TO DEFEND UNIVERSITY High’s High's High’s High’s SKIRT SALE $5.00 JOHN K.
