Mr. Jones geve the dog to Dr.
Williams who had it treated and

other dog was killed Monday in
Snowden settlement, by Mr. Har

until it bas bit him. Mr. Snowden
went to Jacks nville for treatment
as he did not care to take a
chance.
Hedges—As an enthusaist on
growing native hedges, our county
agent takes the lead. He says
that there are none so pretty and
so thickly grown to prevent any
ingress as the gall berry. With
their dark green foilage and
black berries they present a
pleasing aspect. No trouble to
make them grow, plant a hedge of
toem arouud the yard and take
down your fences. Native vines
also vie with the most beautiful.
We noticed the Baptist decorating
their pulpit with dogwood blos
soms, and the Methodist with
Bridal wreath and just as pretty
as fine cut flowers.
