The young men of our town who
delight to revel in the smoke of
cigarettes, have passed some harsh
criticisms on that law which for¬
bids the selling or giving away of
cigarette papers without paying,
the state license. None of our
tobacco dealers are willing to pay
the $10 tax to sell the cigarettes
or papers, therefore the aforesaid
young men are about to be driven
to their cob pipes.

Statesboro who is violating Bul¬

Sparrow Captured Cat Bird.
On the court house square one
evening this week a French mock¬
ing bird (sometimes called cat¬
bird) was made the victim of a
little sparrow which it was trying
to devour. It had caught the
sparrow and almost choked the
life out of it before some small
bovs ran it off. The sparrow then
revived aud a cord was attached
to it and it was placed out for the
bird of prey. The mocking bird
soon returned to the attack and
the little sparrow grabbed it with
a death-like grip and held on un¬
til the boys who held the string
reached the scene and captured
the murderer.

Mr. J. Parish Dead.
Mr. J. Parish, one of the best
known citizens of the county,
died at his home at Parish last
Friday night. At what hour is
not known, as he was found dead
when a member of his family went
to awake him Saturday morning.
“Kit” Parish, as lie was com¬
monly known, had been a sufferer
with consumption for seven or
eight years, and came near dying
some four or five years ago; how
ever, about that time ho began
taking a treatment which rallied
him, and since that time lie has
been in quite fair health.
Mr. Parish has been merchan¬
dising for a long time, and only a
few months ago removed his bus¬
iness from his old home place to
the present little town of Parish
on the B. & P. railroad, where he
was in business at the time of his
death.

THE SMALL POX SITUATION.
People of Statesboro Being Vaccinated
As a Precaution.
No cases of smallpox have yet
been reported 111 this county, and
if precautionary measures can
prevent it, the disease wont reach
Statesboro, In addition to the
strict quarantine regulations en¬
forced by the town authorities,
the people are individually alive
to the necessity of exercising cau¬
tion, and are being vaccinated in
large numbers. The supply of
vaccine points in the drug storea
was exhausted last Saturday aud
special rush orders were seut to
Savannah for more. One physi¬
cian received sixty-five points and
had patients waiting for them
when they arrived.
There was talk of the town
council enacting an ordinance
making vaccination compulsory,
aud this talk bad*th£ effect of
forcing many to go ahead and
have themselves vaccinated. At
the same time the talk complete¬
ly demoralized the colored citi¬
zenship of the town, and many
people have experienced trouble
in dissuading their servants from
leaving town to avoid the vaccina¬
tion.
There is at present nothing very
serious in the smallpox situation.
There has not been a ease uearer
than the vicinity of Sylvauia, and
the disease is on the decrease iu
that section. It was reported that
there was a case at Dover the first
| of the week, but this turns out to
! ba a mistake.

ALKAHEST LYCEUM ORGANIZED.
-
Arrangements Hade for a Series of
Entertainments This Spring.
By the efforts of Mr. C. H.
Mooney, of Atlanta, traveling rep
reseutative a local lyceum was or
gauized here last night with fifty
members as a branch ®f the Alka
best Lyceum Bureau of Atlanta,
Mr. G. S. Johnston was elected
president and Mr. J. L. Coleman
secretary and treasurer. The
fifty members were easily secured,
and it will only be a few weeks
until the first entertainment will
be held. The plan is for five lee
tures or entertainments during
the season, at a cost of $40 each,
These entertainments will be open
to the public and ail admission
fee will be charged, the members
of the lyceum sharing equally the
door receipts.
The above is only half the story.
Some of the members are now
wondering if the y have been
“done.” As an act of accommo¬
dation Mr. Mooney collected $2
each from several of tho members
and, contrary to expectations,
was absent from the meeting at
which Im was to turn the hinds
over to the local treasurer. In
addition to the regular organiza¬
tion a committee was appointed
to ascertain [his whereabouts. It
was found that he luid gone to
Savannah, carrying about $30
which he had collected. Why be
left town so suddenly lias
been ascertained, but as the insti
tution he represents is a perfectly
reputable one it is not probable
that lie lias absconded.

WILL NOT BUILD TO MACON.
But Central Will Complete Line From
Register to Statesboro.
The executive board of the Ceu
tral Railroad met in Macon Tues
day and decided to authorize
President Egan to proceed at once
to complete the link of road
tween Register and Statesboro,
thus giving a line from Bruton to
Savannah. The board also dis
cussed the proposition to complete
the line from Dublin to Maccn,
making an entirely new route fi\ m
Macon to Savannah, but it was
decided that this was not advisa
ble aud that the idea should be
abandoned.
The compauy already
Wrightsville and Teunille, which
connects it with Dublin at one
end and Tenuille at the other, and
it owns the line between
boro and Dover, which completes
the loop and enables its traffic
from Dublin to go through to
Savannah, feeding from a very
fine section of country. The Ma
con, Dublin and Savannah runs
through a rapidly developing ter¬
ritory and does a good business
between Macon and Dublin, aud
the decision reached by the Cen¬
tral’s head officials gives Dublin a
short and quick route to the eoa
coast.
This action of the executive
board will dispel the theory ad¬
vanced by opponents of the Reg
j s ^ er au fi Statesboro extension,
that the recent movements of the
Central railroad are intended as a
blind; aud the people on the line
of Bruton & Biueora will be de¬
lighted at the prospect of an im¬
mediate movement.

FRANK HAGAN’S BIG HOG.
It Tipped the Beam at 707 Pounds—
Hams Weighed 57 Pounds.
The Herald office received a
mysterious looking package last
Saturday morning that produced
visions of dynamite bombs and
other machines of devilish intent.
At first-glance the package looked
like it might contain a link of
bologna sausage, but when handled
it was found to have a hard cap
like covering at one end which
produced creepy and uncertain
feelings. Making bold, I lie paper
was unrolled and disclosed a huge
foot, accompanied by this note:
“Black Prince; hog that be¬
longed to J. Frank Hagan;
weight 707 pounds: hams, after
being trimmed, 57. 1 send you a
foot. There were twenty-live peo¬
ple at the killing.
L‘J. V Fbaxk Hagan.”
Aud the foot was something
huge, resembling more a cow’s
than a hog’s. It measured 9
inches around the ankle, was 84
inches long from ankle joint to
point of too, and weighed lj*
pounds. Compare these figures
with the ordinary big hog, and
some idea can bo had of his size.
Mr. 1 lagan took the measurement
of his body some weeks ago and
found him to be 90 inches long j
aud 74 inches around the girth—
4 niches larger than “Lucie Gus” 1
Waters’ dray horse.
