PUT DOWN THE DOG PEST
SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 43 HAS OR-
GANIZED AN ANTI-PRAIRIE DOG
ASSOCIATION WITH REGU-
LAR MEETING NIGHT.
Strong Resolutions Were Adopted and ■
Concert of Aotlon Launohed With
a View of Annihilating
the Pests.
The following from the Eldorado
Courier in regard to the action of
the people of School Dist. No. 43
should be read all over the county
and the example followed where no
effort has heretofore been made.
Prairie dogs and Jack kabbits
have destroyed thousands of dol-
lars worth of growing crops in
Greer county every year, and while
the scope of their cussedness has
been more circumscribed each year,
yet they are still here, and the
time has come to put them down.
"The prairie dog must go. The
good people of School District
No. 43 pulled off another instruc-
tive, enjoyable and prosperous
meeting Thursday night, March
3rd at their school house.
President G. W. Bain being ab-
sent on account of sickness, T. L.
Reagan was called to the chair.
Proceedings of last meeting were
read by acting secretary and ap-
proved by a unanimous vote. Ow-
ing to the inclemency of the
weather Prof. Cowen failed to
arrive and H. P. West was called
by the chair to address the audi-
ence. He came forward and in his
usual good natured, comical,
though forcible way addressed the
people. He spoke at length on the
destructibility of the dog and the
rabbit to vegetation, trees and farm
products. He said not only did
the dog destroy the grass, but his
unoccupied home give protection
for the rattlesnake that is so dan-
gerous to both man and beast; also
the skunk who had rather eat the
head off a nice frying sized chicken
than anything else.
T. L. Reagan's talk was practi-
cal and to the point. In the gen-
eral discussion that followed noth-
ing was left unsaid that was of
vital importance.
"The following resolution was
introduced by Mr. Fraser and car-
ried by a unanimous vote:
"We, the citizens and free-
holders of School District 43 real-
izing the great destructiveness of
the prairie dog and rabbit, do re-
solve ourselves into a conpact and
a most binding contract of promise
to begin at once the killing of the
prairie dog and rabbit, and prose-
cute the work in every conceivable
way till every dog is killed or run
out of School District No. 43.
March 19th is the time set for
the next meeting. A large crowd
and a good time in general is ex-
pected."
Wm. Harvky, Sec.
For Business Men.

mer stock. Before determining

A Boy's Wild Ride For Life.
With family around expecting
him to die, and a son riding tor life
18 miles, to get Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption Coughs
and Colds, W. H. Brown, of Lees-
ville, Ind., endured death's ago-
nies from asthma; but this wonder-
ful medicine gave instant relief and
soon cured him. He writes; "I
now sleep soundly every night."
Like marvelous cures of Consump-
tion, Bronchitis, Pneumonia, Colds,
Cough and Grip prove its matchless
merit for all Throat and Lung
troubles. Guaranteed (rattles 50c
and $1.00. Tiial bottles free at
R, C. Hannah's drug store.
Horseless carriages, fuelless en-
gines and the wireless telegraph are
the greatest innovations. Dr. Cald-
well's Syrup Pepsin is next and
cures Constipation, Indigestion,
Sick Headache and Stomach
Troubles. Sold by Mangum Drug
Co.
BETTER SHIPPING FACILITIES
Is Now One of the Pressing Needs of Msn-
gum's Expending Trade.
The Mangum Pressed Brick Co.
has just opened another very large
kiln of very fine brick. This
makes the third kiln opened, each
of which are as fine as one could
desire, and a little better than the
one before.
It is now only a question of get-
ting the demand supplied in order
to make Mangum's product in this
line famous.
The lack of shipping facilities is
the greatest impediment in the way
of the expansion of this particular
line of our business as well as many
other of our lines of business. Le-
ger is just now wanting many
thousand of Mangum's brick if the
transportation rates were anywhere
in the bounds of reason.
An unusually large field lies in
this territory to be supplied with
Mangum's products of flour, ice,
brick, etc., just as soon as a rail-
way system of radiating roads,
places us at the radiating point.
Mangum needs more railroads.
The factories will come.
Trades for Clergymen.
One cannot question the prac-
tical good sense of the advice
given to candidates for the minis-
try by a prominent Philadelphia
clergyman in urging them to learn
some trade either before or after
tiheir ordination, says Leslie's
Weekly. He has examined the
statistics of the various Protest-
ant denominations, and has been
appalled by the number of min-
isters who are without a charge.
He thinks that a trade would be
a good thing to fall back on in
such cases, besides standing the
preacher in good stead, in many
ways while still in the pulpit. The
advice is applicable to men cater-
ing almost any of the 'sarned pro-
fessions, but particularly so to
clerg) ,.ien, who run g: ^ater risks,
apparently, than any lass of pro-
fessionals. of being "laid off" from
their regular wor.k I ost of the
large denominations have a fund
to provide for their superannu-
ated clergy, but the stipends
awarded are usually too meager
to do more than pay for the bar-
est necessities of life.
Suppressed by Eleotrioity.
A conductor on a street car In
Portland, Or4., reduced a noisy
drunken man on his car to a state
of decency in about the cleverest
manner which lias yet been report-
ed. The man who had been cele-
brating ,vas seated at the end of
the car and singing lustily, in spite
of the protests of the uonductor
and passengers. Finally the con-
ductor grasped him firmly by the
ear and the man collapsed in a
heap. The conductor's other hand
was on some part of the electrical
arrangements of the car, and he
had passed a heavy shock into the
ear of the joyful one.
A Trifle Mixed.
Three Mangum men and three nice girls-
All lovers true as steel—
pei-ided In a friendly way
To spend the day awneel.
They started in the early morn.
And nothing seemed amiss.
And when they reached the leafy lanes
They in like
rode twoB thlsl
They wandered by the verdant dale.
Beside the rippling rill;
The sun shown brightly all the while;
They beard the song bird's thrill,
They sped through many a woodland glade,
The world was full of bliss—
And when they rented In the shade
Theysat Intwos likethls!
The sun went down and evening came
A lot too soon, they said;
Too long they tarried on the way.
The clouds grew black o'erhead
Down <ashed the rain! They homeward flew
Till one unlucky miss
Slipped sideways—Crash! Great Scottl
The lot
Wereallmlxeduplikethis!

A "Lovely" Dinner Party.
Ex-Governor A. S. Bushnell, of
Springfield, O., recently gave a din-
ner party at his home to his family
—including his two married daugh-
ters, with their husbands, and his
son, with the letter's wife—and to
the women lie gave $150,000
in stock of a harvester company
which pays 5 per eent, while to the
men he gave $100,000 each of the
6ame stock, making a total of
$750,000.00. The governor after-
wards told a friend he was worth
just $7,000,000 after having given
iway his harvester stock.
