The county court will please devise some
means of making prisoners in Jail earn their
board. 1t is q soft snap for some of the tri-

Of the law.

There are no long haired people about this
Office. Any man who permits his wool to
grow over an inch is executed on the spot.
Even our poets are of all the short haired
kind, who treat more OF Drawn and muscle,
labor, the mechanic arts and the ~toiler's
work, than of sentiment and moon-eyed love-
sickness. We leave long hair t, John Logan
and his tribe. May their bad luck, as politi-
clans, never grow less.
Mr.. H. Clinton Sydnor's fine hogs are dy.
ing of cholera. Arsenic properly administer
ed will save them where they are over six

five cent piece should be administered to each
hog every day in a small piece of bread or
meat placed on the end of a long stick and
carefully given TO each hog separately. 1t
will not do mix it in slop, as there il no
certainty as to how much each hog gets.
Some one ought to prepare to put up Ice
here this winter for sale to the public. Prop
erly managed there is money in the business.
1t is always important that a town shall nave
plenty Of ice, but in view Of the fact that the
country is threatened with q visitation of
cholera next summer 1t is of particular i'm
portance that nothing should be lacking to.
ward its good sanitary condition. If to be
done at all preparation canno be made toe
quickly, and we hope the subject will speed.
