The denizens of Dawson street, near Jackson, are regaled every night by the howling ot a miserable cur, who, evidently, instead of baying the moon, bays each particular star, and, as a consequence, it is one continuous series of yells all night long until early in the morning, making night hideous for those who are unable to sleep by reason of his terrible voice. He is ably seconded in his effort to destroy the human race' by his associate, an old cow, who, as soon as the dog leaves off by reason of $hcer exhaus tion, takes up the concert and lows for her absent calf, until milking time. Between the efforts of the two, lile has become a burden to these who are so unfortunate as to live within ear-shot of the musical couple. Now, is there no remedy, as to the dog, at least? Having borne’the infliction as long as human endurance will permit, we shall have an effort made to cover his case. As a means to this end, a special act of the legislature may be necessary, but the circumstances will fully warrant it. A dog law, something like this, might cover his case : Be it enacted, etc. That any dog, who shall, contrary to the peace and good order of any community, howl all night, upon conviction, shall have, for the first offence, his tail cut off im mediately back of his ears, and upon second conviction be fined in the sum of one dollar, the amount to go to the informer. 2nd. That any one harboring such dog - shall be deemed guilty ol main taining a common nuisance, and be fined in such sum as a jury made up of the suffering community may desig- nate. ; : f • . 3rd; Tliat any person who shal maintain moreman *oi<^ dog on his premises shall be amenable to the sarpe penalties as the dog, provided it can not .be made to appear that the said dogs arc of value, and not kept for their musical qualities only. Burglary. On Tuesday night some bold bitt- glar enteicd the residence of Mr,' 8. Samson, while ho was quietly sleep ing, 'and stole his clothing, watch, money and keys thnt were in his cloth ing. Mr. Samson says if the burglar will bring his keys back and leave on his front porch, he will be under many obligations, and even pay a re ward for them. As this is q very rea« sor.qblp ilpmqml, wo hope the light- fingered gentleman will take his re piest under favorable consideration, and endeavor to match Mr. Samson’s generosity. "Guess Who?” If "Guess Who?” who sent the communication from Moultrie, under date of July 22d, will send his real name, tlie*qrtlcle will appear. “Guess Who” violates two well established rules: He writes on both sides of the paper—this always makes a printer swcqr, and they do onough of it with out encouragement—and falls to give his uame. Correspondents will learn, sometime in the next century, per haps, that those rules must be com piled with in order to secure the in sertion of a communication. **••••« Mr. Kedar Powell, of Cairo, was in town yesterday. He informs us that Mr. Byron Wight is running his evaporating establishment on full tinie in Cairo, using 75 bushels ot peurs por day, for whioh he is pay ing 40 conts per bushel. This will prove a most remunerative business, and we arc glad to chronicle Mr. Wight’s success. Tkomasville must have an establishment of large capac ity by another season. , —=- Grave and large joint ooramlttees have been appointed by the legisla ture to investigate the elevator in the new capitoi. It docs not go up and down, and the solons are going to seri ously inquire as to why this is thusly. They want to be elevated. Soinp of tjipip uill |ie plpvatcd by their con? stitucqbj at the next election. A New Invention. A patent has been allowed Prof. II. N. Felkel, of DeFuniak Springs, on his improved tellurian. The points of superiority in this apparatus are: 1. That it exhibits automatically, and, at the same time, the respective mo tions of the sun, earth and moon; the relative rates of their motions; the elliptical orbits of• the earth and moon, and the inclination of the moon’s orbit to the ecliptic. 2. That it illustrates in a. more simple and striking manner than any other in strument of the kind the procession of the equinoxes by exagerating said phenomenon. 3. That it shows the revolution of the moon’s nodes just in the manner in which that phenomenon occurs in nature. 4. That, by al tering the position of the instrument, the motions of the sun, earth, and moon may be shown vertically and horizontally, so that the student may see that there is no absolute lip and down. 5. That all phenomenon connected with the moon may he ex hibited by hand, the operator not changing his ppsition, without work ing the entire machine, by simply loosening a thumbscrew, which throws out of gear the automatic movement. Ot course, it is to be understood that the construction of the apparatus is such as to illustrate all the other phenome na exhibited by machines of this kind, such as a rotation of sun, earth and moon on their axis, the inclination of the earth’s axis, and its parallelism, etc. In brief, the invention onu merates twenty-five different phenom ena which nwy bo illustrated by this device. The machines arc manufac tured iu this place under the direct supervision of Prof. Felkel, and arc >tten up in excellent style, and with view to their durability.—Nows. In Memoriam. We, the committee appointed t»y the W. M. of Okapilco Lodge 272, F. A. M., to draft suitable resolutions upon the death of our aged brother, J. A. Reese, submit the to lowing: brother Reese was hovn lit Putnam eoun- tj, (Ja., Aug. Huh, Im.io, an«l died July Hth, 1H89, In Brooks county, (in. Bro. Reese moved from his native county to Stewart county, during his boyhood days, where he lived for several years, then iu different counties of his Stale until 1800, when lie came to Brooks county. Bro. Reese was twice married, lint to Sarah J. Cox, by whom seven children were horn, five yet surviving- ‘t'hc second wife was Jane Kandy t Only one child by this marriage. Ilro. Reese joined the M. E. Church South in his early manhood, and lived a true and faithful member until death, never being loud in his professions, hut always full of the blessed assurance that he was a “child of a King*” Bro. Reese suffered much bodily affliction during his late year?, and especially the Inst year of hit life, but ho never murmured, ot ten saying to his pliysican: “I’ll bear my suffering for my Master's sake. I can’t think him unjust or unkind; I’ll soon go where all is ease, joy and comfort.’’ # As a Mason, Bro. Reeae was an honor to tho craft; true and faithful: always laboring for his brother’s good. As a father and husband he was kind, indulgent and affec tionate.' As a neighbor (for bis means) none surpassed him in bis attcnt’ni^to the poor and distressed. lie was buried July 9th, at Lebanon, the church where he had so long worshipped, with Masonic honors* Resolved, 1st, That in his death Masonry has lost an earnest advocate, the%<4mrch n strong support, and the community at large a bright and shining light, ‘ Resolved, 2d, That we bow in humble recognition to the will of HFitn who doeth all things well, firmly believing that our loss is Bro.

Tlie lute Kihviird Kverott condensed into n single [mragrnpli ids estimation ol wlmt constituted n f-ood education. Here it is: To read the Tlnglisli language well, to write with dispatch a neat, legible ham!, and he master of the first four rules of nrith- tnetic, so as to dispose at once, with accu racy, of every question of figures which comes up in practice. 1 call this a good education. And if you add the ability to write pure, grammatical Knglish, I regard it as an excellent education. These are the tools. You can do much with them, hut are hopeless without them. They are the foundation and unless you begin with these, not wit.li flashy attainments, a little geology, and all other oiogies and osophies arc ostentatious rubbish.’’ Yet, after all your “oiogies,” the three U’s, if thoroughly taught and understood, form the surest founda tion for n successful career. Then let its stand by the three Il's. — —»... —— Turning out Tanner. The periodic talk of bouncing Tan ner, comes from Washington again yesterday. Like the "Old Man of the Sea” Tanner sticks to Harrison like a porous plaster. The administration is finding it a most difficult job to shake him off. O, for just one hour of Grover Cleveland, at the helm. He’d bounce Tanner so high that— well, it would take him some time to light. The telegraph furnishes the following, under date of the 22d, touching Tanner’s present status: Meanwhile Corporal Tanner is practically deposed, Dr. McMillan, representing Secre tary Noble, I icing practically in charge of the ollice. It was Dr. McMillan who first brought Corporal Tanner’s recklessness to the attention of the President and Secretary N'olilc by showing them n calculation prov ing that if Corporal Tanner's system ot re- rating should be npplied to all the present and pending pensions it would demand from the treasury nsuin equal to the present na tional debt. The hill to create a state board of health was discussed in the Senate committee of the general judiciary Wednesday by a ‘number of physi cians. The doctors of the allopathic faith think the hoard should lie con stituted entirely from among their number, but the eclectics think they ought to have a representation. The state charters the eclectic colleges, and thereby recognizes that persuasion of physicians. The eclectics clnim an equal representation on the hoard, but they will hardly get that, as they hardly number more than one-fourth of the doctors of the state. As now constituted the bcaid will consist of eighteen physicians. The idea of a state hoard of health is generally commended, and the bill will un doubtedly pass after the committee has perfected its details. It provides, al so, for county boards of health in each of the B57 counties. The state board is to have full control of health matters in the state, and in times of epidemics will be a very powerful body. The following is the origin, history and use of the red cardinal hat: Innocent IN’ at the council of Lyons in 124.% conferred on the cardinals the distinc tion of the now lumens red hat. The special meaning of the hat is that the Pope places it on the head, the sent of the Brain, to warn the cardinal that he must give learned and loyal counsel to the government of the church, while its color signifies that the wearer must be prepared to shed the last drop of blood rather than betray his trust. The hat U now one of ceremony only, and serves Imt twice—once when the cardi nal receives it in consistory ami next when it rests on his catafalque at his obsequies. It is tlivii suspended I'coiu the ceiling of the chapel or aisle of the church in which he is buried. The form of the hat is round, with a low crowr^ and wide stiff brim, from the inside of which hdng fifteen silk tassels. Commissioner of Agriculture Hen derson, of Georgia, telegraphs to the New York Herald that the prospccls for a good cotton crop in this state have been slightly improved since a month ago, the chief obstacles Licit',, poor stands, and the small size of plants, He thinks the corn crop will un good, and says it is nearly made. He is apprehensive that excessive rains will prevent an average cotton crop. High License. The defeat of the prohibition amendments in Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Penn sylvania will not injure the cause of temperance in the United .States. There are thousands of temperance people iu every state who are opposed to prohibition as a remedy for the suppression o' the liquor traffic. They are satisfied that in this case prohibi tion does not prohibit. And then there arc millions of temperance peo ple in both parties who look upon state or national prohibition as viola tive of the fundamental principles of our democratic form of govern ment. They consider it an encroach ment upon their personal and civil rights as citizens of a free country. So that for all practical purposes we may regard the prohibition movement as dead. But the great question of temper ance will never die. The state has the right to control (lie liquor traffic. It is its duty to prohibit, and if possible, prevent drunkenness, which is productive of so much crime and misery. The temperance sentiment of the country favors high license as tfic best remedy for the suppression of some of the evils of intemperance in our large cities. The friends of high license point to Minneapolis, Minn., as a proof of the advantage of that system, both as a means of lessening the traffic and as it source of revenue. It is shown that in the spring of 1884 Minneapolis, under a* 3100 license, had fjPO sa loons, paying into the oity treasury $50,000 a year, whereas at present, under a 81,000 license, tho saloons number only 21!0, and the city re' ccivcs $2150,000 a year.—Augusta Chronicle. Mrs.-Margaret Quinn, who died in New York on Friday last, was the oldest person iu that city, being 104 years of age. .She wits in full posses sion of her facilities up to two days before her death. She never wore spectacles, and could see to thread a needle as well as one of Iter great grandchildren. To the last she never failed to enjoy her daily walk about tlie neighborhood. She climbed up and down two pairs of stairs without any apparent effort. Representative Hart, ol Green;, lias a hill of much importance to the farmers of the stale under way in the 1 louse. The evil which lie proposes to remedy is a great drawback to the farmers and should have been provided (or before new. It is a bill to be entitled an act to regulate and define the liability of a person illegally em ploying the servant, tarm laborer, cropper or tenant of another. — • • • The legislature should guard closely against ore contingency in the West ern and Atlantic railroad business: do not, in any event, shape tilings so that there would lie the povihiUhj of tlie state having to take the road and run it. This would be ruinous. At last accounts John Sullivan and John Barleycorn were having a mill in New York, barleycorn appears to be a better man that Kilrain. Sullivan cannot stand before John B. long. The latter downs him on the 10th or 12th round every time. He hits Sulli van right square in the mouth every blow. Atlanta, Ga , July 22.—To-day in the House a luge number ot tlie members who went home on Friday iiad not-returned, and only such nut ters were taken up as could be dis posed ot with a small House. This is tlie old, old story. m • — - — Kilrain's friends now claim that he was drugged. It was not drugs, but Sullivan’s "digs” that knocked Kilrain out.
