The Mosquito Carnival.
Mosquitoes, during the past week, have had
everything their own way. The town has been
literally beseigcd invaded and taken possession Of
by them. They do not come upon us merely as
scouting parties, by platoons or companies, but
sweep all before them in regiments. battalious,
brigades and divisions. Their dcpredations upon
the genes homo hereabouts In the aggregate, have
been fearful They swarm in the air, swarm in
the house, swarm everywhere, beseiging their vic
tins in front, flank and rear, and prayer or en-
treaty. threatening or swearing, fight or fight,
are alike of no avail. They wage indscrimi-
ate war, sparing neither age, sex condition.
In their thirst for blood they will listen to com
promise and spurn all propositions of conciliaon.
Taking these facts into consideration, we give
public notice that we are fernenst" +" mosquitoes,
now, henceforth and all the tme and shall gov
! crn ours If accordingly.
