MOSQUITOES IN DEcxNBkR. - Chief
Brown, Of the Virginia Fire Depart
ment. called us aside last night and re-
lated the following yarn. He assured us.
however. that il was gospel truth. He
said: last night / was passing the
northeast corner Of Union and @ streets,
when I saw q lot OF burning rags
thrown out Of Meyers tailor shop. on
Union street. I thought there was
something up. so l raped at his door
and told him to open 1t. He said he
never opened his door unless he choose.
I told him who I was, and said / would
kick il in il he didn't. He then opened
tho door and I walked in. The room
was full Of smoke. l asked him what
he had been doing. He said he had
been trying to smoke out the musqui-
toes. / laughed at him, but he told the
truth. Ne I afterwards ascertainsd. He
then lit q light. and sure enough the
shop was literally alive with mosquitoes.
He told me that the lady that keeps the
restaurant next door was eaten up with
thsm. I called in TO see her to-day. Her
face, hands and arms were covered with
bites; such objects I never did wee be-
fore in all my life this side OF the Miss
| issippi. There now that's something
| for you newspaper chaps to make an
item Of" We have made the item. III
anybody doubts the truth OF Chief
| Browns assertion let him call on the
parties.
Nurs,Scrs.-we called the attention
OF our readers yesterday to q reward OF
ton dollars offered By some OF our eiti-
zsns for the eonvistion Of parties violat-
ing a certain town ordinance. This or
ainance was passed especially to protect
| auadrupeds US well rs the health oil the
town. We wish TO call particular atten-
ton Of houseksepers to the fact that
many a valuable animal has been ruined
by trsading on hot ashes, hot nails,
broken bottles and such rubbish. thrown
on tho public highway by thoughtless
people. Now is the eason when such
occurrences ARE liable TO be most fire.
qusHt, and our teamsters have deter
mined to prosecute. TO the fullest extent
OF the law. all persons detected violating
the ordinance in such cuse made and
provided. The penalty. ON conviction,
can range from n fine OF forty dol
lars to two hundred. IL the party
convicted cannot obtain money to pay
the fine, he or she will have to board II
out at the rate Of one day in Jail for
every 50 fined. SO be very careful what
disposition you make Of your hot ashss,
broken bottles and old nails.
