VOLUME 26. t tof:n by big bulldog BOY OF ELEVEN YEARS MAY DIE OF INJURIES. Little Lugene Berkhan Ter= ribly Lacerated by Yici= oos Dog in East Point. STICKS AND HAMMERS ARE tSEO BY WORKMEN TO SAVE LAD’S LIFE. ■“ — 1 Four Men Required to Rescue Child, and Ei ,'ht to Take Life of Dog. LitW® Eugene Berkham, aged 11 years son bf Mrs. Charles I. Heath, of 187 South Forsyth street, lies at bis home his life hanging by a thread, as a resu":. of wounds inflicted by a vicious b 11 dog in East Point yester day afternoon. The dc was the property of Fred Clemmen -• foreman in one of the de partment •> of the Blount Buggy Cos., and it took four men to make the dog turn the little fellow loose, and five shotf o kill the dog.” The fo* agoing was dipt from the Atlanta Constitution of July 29th. When the Jacksonian begun its fight for the ei .'orcement of the ordinance against vicious animals running at large in Jackson, the Editor had in mind the little children of the town whose livas were in jeopardy by rea son of Mi yor Wall’s bull-dog which had alrea iy terrified the immediate neighborhood iu which the dog was kept. Tie life of a single chila is •worth 10,900,000 times more than all the bulldogs in the world, the Mayors included in the bunch. Tae Mayor should take notice of the willingness of the East Point cit izen to allow HIS dog killed, where as our citizens will notice that the Mayor w; need to kill the man who would da ! e molest his dog. To this end, we must infer that the Mayor ar ned himself with a pistol to carry ut his threat of homicide, because a oout this time, two of Butts good and truthful citizens saw the mayor walking along the streets of Jackson end a big revolver fell from hispocke: and he quietly picked it up, put it. in his pocket, and continu ed on his journey just as though there was no law against carrying a pistol concealed. A beautiful spec tide is it to behold the Mayor of a quiet ana peacable little town like Jackson v alking the streets armed like a cow-boy of the wild and unin habited western frontier. We no<e with pleasure that The Jackson Argus joiDs ns in the fight against dogs running at large, on the streets of Jackson, and clip the fol lowing from their last issue towit: “Little Gibbs Lyons, while going on the streets last Saturday, was bitten by a dag, the teeth entering the fiesh a quarter of an inch deep. The dog showed sjo symptons of rabies, but Mr. Lyons took the little fellow to Atlanta Sunday and was assured there wa- no danger unless the dog died. This brings up the subject of • peeping dogs off the streets. If there is no ord iance ugainst dogs being at large, th re should be, and it should be rigid 1 w enforced.

It was not right in this thickly populated .town to have hog pens, and they were removed. Now if our City Council will get right in behind the dogs, they will likewise be kept at home. Don’t wait until there is an example that will shock our whole community. Many sections throught the State have suffered seriously from dogs. Don’t let our little city have a pall ever it from the same cause. 8t George and the Dragon. Other nations besides England have fought under the banner of St George, and other knightly orders as well as that of the Garter have been instituted In his honor. He was the guardian saint of Sicily, Aragon, Valencia, Genoa, Mal to and Barcelona; a Venetian order of St. George wa; created in 1200, a Spanish In 1317, an Austrian In 1470, a Genoese in 1472 and a Roman In 1402. More modern orders bearing his name are those of Bavaria (1729), Russia (1707) and Hanover (1839). The device of St. George slaying the dragon forms part of the arms of the czar and ap pears on several Russian coins. The conjecture that this was owing to the presentation of the Garter by Eliza beth to Ivan Vassilievltch has no foun dation In fact, for Chanceler, the first outspoken Englishman to visit Russia, speaks of a dispatch sent in 1554 from Ivan Vassilievltch to Queen Mary, the seal of which “was much like the broad seal of England, having on the one side the Image of a man on horse back In complete harness fighting with a dragon.”—London Chronicle. Queer Positions of Hearts. There is one curious fact which not everybody notices about the common, finger-long, green caterpillars of our larger moths. Their hearts, Instead of being in front, are at the back of the body and extend along the entire length of the animal. One can see the heart distinctly through the thin skin and can watch its slow' beat, which starts at the tall and moves forward to the head. Hearts of this sort reaching from head to tail are not at all uncom mon In the simpler creatures. The earthworm has one, and so have most worms, caterpillars and other crawling things. Hearts In the middle of the back also are quite as frequent as those in what seems to us to be the natural place. Many animals, the lob ster for example, and the crayfish and the crab, which have short hearts like those of the beasts and birds, never theless have them placed just under the shell In what, in ourselves, would be the small of the back.—St Nicholas. One Source of New*. For many years a certain New York paper received society and club gossip from a man whose identity was con cealed by a clever ruse. Kvcu his checks were made out to his wife in her maiden name. lie furnished in formation about the doings and wran gles in various clubs—little stories in volving people whose names are known by reputation to practically all renders of newspaper columns. He is said thus to have averaged an income of about $lO a week—not much, but enough to buy hats, gloves and canes. He was a most Immaculate and ap parently prosperous person. It Is needless to say that he has never been suspected of this small traffic. A wealthy relative died und left him In dependent. When some such man furnishes the clew to a delectable scandal he has done a stroke of busi ness that will keep him In small lux uries for months to come.—Whitman Beuuett in Bohemian. Counell Bluff* Rejects M. O. The city council has turned down the municipal ownership proposition In connection with the city waterworks plant and voted to grant anew fran chise to the water company, whose franchise expired some months ago. The action was taken after a monster petition, signed by almost every busi ness man in the city, had been pre sented to the council asking that tbs municipal proposition be killed.—Mu alcipjtl.

A Kansas girl graduate who had been given the theme, "Beyond the Alps Lies Italy,” promulgated the following: "I don't care a cent whether Italy lies beyond the Alps or In Missouri. I do not expect to set the river on fire with my future career. I urn glad thut I have a good education, but I am not going to misuse It by writing poetry or essays on the future woman. It will enable me to correct the grammar of any lover I may have should he speak of ‘dorgs’ in my presence or ‘seen a man.’ It will also come handy when I want to figure out how many pounds of soap a woman can get for three dozen eggs at the grocery. So Ido not begrudge the time I spent In acquir ing It. But my ambitious do not fly so high. I Just want to marry u man vCho can lick anybody of his weight iu the township, who cun run an eighty acre farm and who has no female relatives to come around and try to boss the ranch. I will agree to cook dinners for him thut won’t send him to an early grave and lavish upon him a whole some affection and to see that his razor has not been used to cut broom wire when he wants to shave. In view of all this I do not care if I get a little rusty on the rule of three and kindred things as the years go by.”—Topeka Capital. Part of the Latter We Read. “Did you ever think,” said an old printer, "that we really notice only the upper halves of the letters? The lower halves are In many cases only the stems, the remainders of ornamental flourishes which have been graduully reduced In size and length and are now meaningless. Take, for instance, the heading of a paper. Cover up with a blank sheet the lower half of the let ters, and even If you did not know what they were you would have no dif ficulty in reading the words. Now, re verse the process and cover the upper half, and if you did not know the words it would be impossible to make out the letters. This fact is even more plainly seen In the case of the Ilomau letters used for headlines. An L might be mistaken for an I, but nearly all the other letters are so plainly Indicated by the shape of the upper half that the lines may be read without difficulty.’’— St. I.ouis Globe-Democrat. What la an Orator? The true orator Is the man who can make people laugh, cry and feel what he says. In truth, the genuine orator Is the man who has humor enough In his. soul to bring the smile to the face, pathos enough In his heart to bring the tear to the eye and dignity enough In his bearing to persuade or move men.

On the coust of Pomerania there are large tructs of sand heaped up by the wind, hundreds of yards In breadth mid from 00 to 120 l'eet high, and these hills, propelled by the wind, move steudily in an easterly direction. The speed at which these great hills travel is from thirty-nine to fifty-alx feet a year. Pine woods, which some times come In their line of march, can not stop them and are completely de stroyed. The branches are rotted off by the sand, and nothing is left of the trees but the bare stems, which after a few years wither and die. A Crowd Is Not Company.
