BOYKIN ATTORNEY-AT-LAW Call and See About Borrowing Money. Loans Made on Farms and'City House and Lots. Hunters Beware! At the (session ot legislature just closed, and in pursuance to the reccomendation ol the grand jury the following local bill pro hibiting the killing of any game bird within the limits ot Carroll County for two years was passed; Sec. i. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Georgia, and it is hereby enacted by authprity ot the same, that from and alter the passage ol this act it shall be unlawful for any person within the limits of Car- roll County to shoot, trap, net or destroy in any manner any partridge, dove or other game bird tor a period of two years. Sec. a. lie it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That any person violating provisions of Sec. i ot this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction shall be punished as provided in Sec. 1039 of Vol. 3 ol the code 01 1895. The farmers of this county should take a special interest in seeing that this law is not violat ed in any form as it - is chiefly for their benefit that it was pas sed. Insects ot every kind are the bane ot the farmer’s life and birds are the natural enemies of the insects and destroy countless numbers every year, but if the birds are all killed it will be but a short time until the farmer will have his hands lull trying to keep the pests oft his growing crops. Only a few years ago the boll weevil was nor known outside ot the state ot Texas but each year they have steadily advanced eastward, sometimes only about 100 miles per year, sometimes more, until they had crossed Louisianna, Mississippi and at last have all but reached Geor gia. The last government re ports show that they have reach ed Mobile, Ala., and as our county borders on Alabama will be one of the first counties in this state to be infested with this pest, and it behooves us to make preparations now to fight them. This law looking to the preservation of our birds is the first step in the fight, and a wise one too. Carroll County is the first to pass a bird law, but no doubt other counties will soon follow our example. In the meantime let us all see that our law is rigid ly enforced. Mrs. A. D. Hagan Dead.
