Our Sheriff.
F Jeff Davis county has a first:
class Sheriff in every sense of
the word, Mr. W. H. Fllis has
made good ever since he took
charge of the bffice. In the first
place, he is a gentleman, and
don’t believe in shooting people
like many officers, justto get a
reputation of being a bad man.
While talking to the editor of
this paper one day recently he
remarked, that he hoped to serve
This term out without being forced
to harm any one. And we be
lieve that he was honest and sin
eere in this remark. He is jolly
and obliging, and has a happy
faculty of making friends with
all whem he comeés in contact
with, '
Now, the reason he does not
want to shoot any one in the
discharge of his duties, is not
be(*,auset'?he has not the nerve to
do such a thing. No, no, If he
had it to do, he can do it all right
eneugh, but he says that it is
his ambition o serve his term
and to discharge his duties to
the very best £ his ability, with
out hurting any one, unless he is
forced to do so.
And it takes such men like
W. H. Ellis to make conl-headed
first-class officers. ;
And, he has made many new
friends since he took charge of
his ofthce. 2 |
Court officials, school teachers
and editors are the targets for
the public to criticise, to shoot
their arrows (their tongues) at,
whether this class of mortals de
serve censure or not, but, we can
say with condor, that up to date
we have heard compliments paid
Mr. Ellis instead of censure,
ever since he assumed the res
pon%blq position of Sheriff of
Jeff Davis County. ‘
. We are informed by the city
authorities, that itwill require
about thirty days to validate the
schopl house and watqrworks
bondé. Immediately after valid
ation plaps will be approved and
contracts let. So, it will not be
very long until there will be
something doing in the water:

A Few Simple Tests,

Don’t neglect your most important sense. To examine your eyes, ear o
throat, it is necessary to be equipped properly, so all imperfections can be

causes headache, and many people are injuring their sense of vision by not
‘having their eyes properly treated.

Don't Neglect the Children.
1f ydu go on allowing your Eyesto smart and ache 2nd annoy, yOu may nev
er again be able to malke them strong, Neither canwe, !
Don't Délay---Don’t Wait---Now is the Time.

Oh, we've been mad she past
few days, awful mad, ‘‘as mad as
Tucker.” We don’t know how
mad Tucker was, but we doknow
that we E:vve been sovmad the
past gv s tlat we lost our
appetite, and have spit cotton
And, we lack a good deal of be
ing calm and serene now.
We have a nice eabbage patch
(or did bave one) near the office,
and the cabbage in it were fine,
and had just begar. to head. But.
wo have abandoned all hope of
ever enjoying a wess of greens
from this patch, for some low
'‘down, depraved scoundrel has
beeh making: nightiy raids on it
lately, and helping himself to
them, without even as much as
saying “‘thankey.” And one
‘night recently we think he
‘brought a two-horse wagon
along, and -filled that with cab
‘bage, from the appearance of the
‘patch the next morning.
This cabbage thief seemsS to be
very choice and particular for he
invariably selects tha largest
heads in the patch.
- Now, we just can’t stand
overything, if we are a country
editor, and hereby offer a re
‘ward of $897,215.77, for the ar
rest, with” sufficient proof
‘to convict—this “serpant in hu
‘man form—the cabbage thief.
‘And, if our friend, Joe Brown,
was occupying the gubernatorial
¢hair just now, we would prevail
upon him to add eight or ten
thousand dollars more to this
reward of ours, so as to interest
the best detectives in the coun
tvry, to encourage them to go
to work on this case. This thief
must be canght by ail means,
or else the people of Hazlehurst
will have no greens to eat this
summer.
The moere we write tha mader
we get. We have gone to spit
ting cotton again. We must
stop right here. Doggone that
cabbage thief. He ought to be
er-lyn—.
