WHO SELLS PURE MILK ?

Il 'Tribuuo" Reporter Interviews the
ntlllkmen, aud Finds Them Feeling yery
Indignant Because Prominent Daily
Has Stated that Only Twenty six of Their
Number Are Reliable.
Undcniably, the statement referred to is
grossly absurd, as there are daily brought into
Chicago about 1000 cans Of milk, OF which the
dealers mentioned sell perhaps onc-third. The
remainder is sold By the smaller dealers, and it
is certainly unjust to throw suspicion upon
them By insinuating that the twenty-six larger
dealers are the only ones who sell good milk.
Accepting an invitation from the milk-venders
to visit the depots and inspect their cans, the
reporter nnds that the following dealers, as
we'll as many others, receive daily supplies of
country milk, and have neat and woll-kcpt es-
tablishments:

the people of the Virginia will be cen
tered in that direction for the next few
days to come. Some people are silly
enough to suppose the convention has
power to settle the debt. i only wish II
were so; Virginia's chains would soon
be loosed and her renewed activity and
prosperity would be close at hand. They
should, at least, be empowered to reverse
her coat of arms, for now the tyrant's

meets to express the opinions of, may
say, the people of Virginia, for the ma
jority is Overwhelmingly large.
