The reporter is frequently asked to
say something about this and that
nuisance, and parties claim that many
OF the citizens are too careless In res
gard to keeping their premises free
from what may turn out to be great
health. destroyers. 1t has been reliably
stated that residents almost In the
heart Of the city, keep hogs In their
very yards, and the noxious eflluvia
from the said premises Is terribly Of

titles, and as often as they have re-.
Gently, these yards resemble more the
unsightly appearance Of a.government
mule.pen, than anything else with
which we may compare them. And
the scent arising therefrom is horrible;
the wear and tare on the noses in the
neighborhood is fearful to contemplate.
1t seems to US that the owners of these
hogs ought to have sufficient regard
for their own and their neighbors'
welfare, to remove the same to the
country, where range Is not 80 con-

be better subserved.
