Virginia Items. Walter Wolfe came in Sanday moraine about 3 o'clock = It was Sundown when he passed through Biue Mound, Kao, but as light as day when be got here. He expects to re vain one week at home. Mixa Grace Darr’s school closed last Friday at Virginla with a grand entertainment.- She furaished ice cream for dinner. Many of the patrons attended the closing of the school. The house was crowded. Exercives were sloging, declamations of various kinds, James I. — =e his father’s graphaphone, and Mr. delivered a tine address to theschool, also Mra J. W. McFadden gave a short tulk. The scholars speak well of their teacher. Miss Grace has a way of keeping on the good side of her pupils, and the pupils showed the same kindness, so they had 4 pleas ant time togather. O M. Drysdale left Saturday for Moundiville, Mo , to spend a fewdays with Isaac Park and family Miss Vena Bigus, of Hume, who had been visiting her uncle, George Thompson, returned home Thursday last week. Dr. Smith was called to see Mother Oldham Sunday. Mother Craig has been on the sick Net for several days. She is getting quite old.

Wolf, of Burlington, Kan. It is reported they hadagood time. We join in with wha Rustic safdin the Record last week un the dog law. We will add hia poetry: Some little dogs are very good And very useful too; And did you know that they will mind What they are bid to do. He says it any sheep have been kiil- ed in Hudson in the last 20 years, he did not hear of {t. He says that we suppose fifty dollars would pay for all the sheep killed by dogs in Bates county. Thatthe tax ondogs would amount $2,000 or more a year. Wolves killed a number of sheep a few miles west of Spruce this spring He thinks Mr. Carroll could have benefitted the sheep men better by asking the legislator to pass a law toget rid of the wolves, He speaks of the dogs killing skunks, minks, weasels and other animals that eat chickens, and the poultry industry of Bates county {s ten times more prof- itable that the sheep industry. We know Rustic’s head {s level on the dog law, and another thing crops out; in peace he ts opposed to class legislation, so we find most all the old Republicans. The office seeking ones wear @ different coat. We see from the Hume paper that Mr. Vail, a sheep and red hog man, south of Hume, has bought three wolf dogs to kill the wolves. Mr. Vail handles a large number of sheep, and the wolves are eating up the profits, Paper adds if the dogs will do the work, they are worth $60. Once in awhile wa hear persons say, “My neighbor has a number of dogs, aud I keep @ good dog, and I am willing to pay tax on him.” We would say that that kind of an outfit is busy killing skunk and oth- er animals that destroy the poultry of the county, while the man that has @ good dog, is always laying around the yard watting for his din- ner. We shall humbly submit to what the county court says ifitisa dollar on our dog, we will pay. AARON. Foster Items. Bush Collins and wife visited in Worland Sunday. Rev.
