I e] : p the following from The
Jackson Argn- of last Friday which
is jus ly complimentary to our re
presentative.
“The bill introduced in the Leg
islature by Representative Brown
of Henry county, to tax all dogs,
and earnestly worked for by him,
received most favorable Comment
throughout the State. While the
bill as drafted by him wasnofc pas
sed at this session, it will probably
go through at the next session.
It was put by the Ways and Means
Committee in the tax act, and
now there is a tax. on all dogs of
t'l each. There were many strong
arguments for tl e passage of the
bill B ‘sides the revenue brought
into tlie State arising from the tuX
on dogs, it wi.l ei coinage fanners
io again go to raising shei p if tin
lingo i.nmber of v oithliis snd
halt liii dugs widen louui the
country is rod need. The right tu
own good dogs belongs to every
one, but dogs should be kept at
home and not allowed to run at
large to endanger human life If
taxed it is the surest way to rid
the country of them. The
Brown hill should become a law.
No one will be hurt, but many
benefited.”
