NoRFoLK's GOOD FORTUNE.
Norfolk Landmark, Saturday. '29si&
Norfolk has been slngnlarly happy during
the past year in exemption from disease OF
all sorts; but we know that the yellow-fever
has struck north and south Of us, and that
this "typho-malarial" is In Baltimore.
These lamentable facts should make us
realize that the penny-wise policy may be
more than pound-foolish, and the very first
thing done when the Legislature meets
should be to mature q system OF sanitary
inspection for this harbor, so fenced about
that it can never be made party question,
and so complete rs to give the people of
Norfolk and Portsmouth, with their depen-
denotes, all the guarantees that law can
afford, that the public health will beguarded
with eternal vigilance. e"
