We had the pleasure of visit on last
Friday from Mr.. H. Ewbank, the accom-

the interests of that vc.y excellent journal.
The News and Courier has large and in
creasing circulation in the town and county
of Anderson, where its enterprise and jour-
nalistic ability is highly appreciated and
admired
We notice that some Of the towns in this
State have passed ordinances requiring all
dogs allowed to run at large to be muzzled

would like to see just such an ordinance ir
force in Anderson.
