poultry, eggs, small quadrupeds, young birds and wild
fruit. They are said to be the
natural enemy of bees; his
thick skin renders him impervious to their attacks. He shows
great sagacity in finding their
nests, watching at sundown
with liis eyes shaded,the homeward flight of the honeymakers
and then following them to plunder and destroy-

Anecdote:"
Pedestrians called by business or pleasure to ramble
through the country during the
morning or evening twilight oc-
cassionly see a small and pretty
animal a short distance before
them in the path, scamperiiig
forward without appearing
much alarmed, and advancing
in a zigzag or somewhat serpentine direction. Experienced
persons generally delay long
enough to allow this unwelcome
traveler to withdraw from the
path; but it often happens that
a view of the animal arouses
the ardor of the observer, who,
in his fondness for sport, thinks
not of any results but that of
securing a prize. It would be
more prudent to rest content
with pelting this quadruped
from a safe distance, or to drive
it away by shouting loudly, but
almost all inexperienced persons, the first time such an
opportunity uccurs.'rush forward with intent to run the
animal down.
This appears to be an easy
task; in a few moments it is
almost overtaken; a few more
strides and the victim may be
grasped by its long and waving tail—but the/tail is now
suddenly curled over the back,
pace is slackened and in an
instant the condition of things
is   entirelv   reversed; the
lately triumphant persuer is
eagerly flying* from his intended prize, inveloped in an
atmosphere of stench, grasping1 for breath, or blinded and
smarting with pain, if his approach were sufficiently close
ministering; his office in the
interests of good government.
He has not been deterred by
threats or seduced by promises but his hewn to' the line,
regardless of where the chips
may fall. As the legal advisor of the board ol county commissioners, his services have
been invaluable, and no one
can say they have not been
worth all and more than he
received. He has incurred
the enmity of those who were
not allowed to use his office
for their private purposes,
out thereby should win the
confidence of the people of the
people of the county. County
Attorney Cameron appreciates and understands the importance of his office and gives
to it the best there is in him.
There* is no good reason why
this faithful servant of the
people should not be retained
in his office, and vve look for
his re-election by a large majority.—Adv.
