Little Bobbie Trout, an orphan boy who makes his home at Mr. J. S. Erwin's was bitten by a dog that manifests every symptom of rabies Tuesday. The dog is a young greyhound and was a great pet of the boy's. Tuesday the canine, without warning, sprang at the boy with the ferocity of a tiger and tore the flesh of the little fellow's hand. The dog's action created suspicion and it was at once confined in a barn to await developments. It appears to be blind and pays no further attention to any person or thing than to snap at everything that touches it. People who have seen mad dogs say this one is undoubtedly afflicted with rabies. The brute was very weak yesterday and is probably dead by this time. A mad stone was applied to the wound and adhered several hours. There is some talk of sending the little boy to the Pasteur Institute at St. Louis and the Signal hopes this action will be taken.

R. D. Hudson, the old man who killed his son-in-law, I. J. Martin, a few miles southwest of Honey Grove about a year and a half ago, died in the Bonham jail Monday night and the remains were interred at Oakwood cemetery, this city, Tuesday. Mr. Hudson was arrested on the night of the killing and since has spent all of his time in jail. He was tried twice, the first trial resulting in a life sentence to the penitentiary, which verdict was reversed by a higher court and the case remanded. At the second trial he was given a term of ten years, and would probably have been sent to the state prison some
weeks ago but for his ill health. He was about 78 years old at the time of his death. It is seldom that one of such advanced age commits such a bloody crime, and while to the general public the deed has the appearance of a murder most foul, the old man must have believed himself justifiable in the act. Peace to his ashes.

"James Lambeth, aged seventeen years and Miss Ida Taylor, aged fourteen, who lived in the Pee Dee community on the Slate Shoalds road, were married a few days ago by Squire Andrews of Powderly. Both of the young folks were under the legal age, but were married with the permission of their parents." PARIS ADVOCATE. ----As stated by the Signal last week, the law relating to marriage should be amended by striking out the clause allowing parents to consent to the marriage of children. Some parents seem to know no more than children and their consent to the marriage of a pair of kids does not lessen the evils of the child-marriage in the least.

A. C. Clark, a saddler, who had been in the employ of J. W. Hamilton for some time, went to Paris Sunday and tanked up on mean whiskey, which act is responsible for the serious trouble that now hangs over him. Clark is a fine workman and when sober is a very nice man, but whiskey takes over and there's no telling what he will do. Late in the afternoon he started home and took a street car to the depot. On the front platform was a grip which belonged to a lady, but the motorman thought it was Clark's and called to him that he had left his baggage. Clark took the grip and carried it to the depot platform. Clark was arrested and at last accounts was in jail at Paris.
