In the report Of the Board of

on Wednesday afternoon were the
following points of interest to the
community: That rigid requirements
OF cleanliness would lie enforced ::
that dsinfcctants were placed at the
several drug stores for gratuitous
distribution; that it is suggested to
Council to take such steps as will au-
thorizc the board to enforce its re.
qnlrements that n sufficient street
force be placed ut the disposal of the
Board as, will assure an abatement of
nnisanccs, and when such labor is re-
qulrcd on private property, the cost
OF same be taxed against the owner ::
that our drains, generally good, are
deficient especially in their grades
that distractions be removed from
the branch with its connecting bitches
running in rear Of Fair Building :;
that the Council provide some plan
by which contents of privy vaults
may be removed from the city; that
pig pens be prohibited during the
tsummer months that our per centum
OF deaths, 8 to every 1000 Of popu-
lation, for the last seven months. is
far below that presented by the most
healthy localities in the country and
that We have only to use such pre-

93Ihe crop reports from different
sections of the county are more fav-
orqblc than.we expected. Cotton is
recovering from the effects Of the
drought rapidly and will make very
nearly an average crop. Corn, though
short, will make in few localities
satisfactory yield, but in mapy places
this crop is hopeless failure, the
loss of which can only be supplied by
a large sowing Of oats this fall. Let
the farmers attend to this matter and
save buying corn.
