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.” Unidentified.
