The Board of Health.

The Board of Health was not
elected last Saturday, as for some
cause there was no meeting The
people don't seem to feel the need of
1T. There is, really, no need of
Board of Health, il the Council will
do its duty and enforce the sanitary
laws and regulations. The citizens
should not wait to be forced to clean
up aud disinfect. There is special
need at this time Of thorough
cleanliness and care on the part of
housakeepers. A free use of lime,
coperas, and other germ destroying
agents may prevent much sickness
and distress. There is no excuse for
negligence along this line. Why
depend upon the Council to have
sanitary work done around our
premises9 What does the Council
know about sanitary laws, anyway,
more than other citizens?
There is not sanitary expert, or
physician on the Council and not
one in town whom they can command,
for lack of funds. A sanitary
association, Independent of any
local government, composed of
progressive, interested citizens, and
good sanitary expert is the only
organization adopted to small towns.
And this organization must be vol.
untsry one on the part of the citizens.
In the meantime let every house
holder look to his own premises.
Decency and comfort demands it.

rnArrHREE DAYS ORDER.


At its last term the county court
passed an order requiring that all
male citizens subject to road work
should give three days work instead
of two as heretofore. The order has
brought some unjust complaint as
the court can in no way be held re-
sponsible for proyidential vista
tions. Below is the order which ex-
plains itself:
1t appearing to the court that ow
ing to the recent foods throughout
the county and consequent damage
to the roads and bridges of the coun-
ty, the taxes together with the two
days work Of every male person not
under 81 nor over 80 years of age is
not sufficient to construct and keep
in good repair the roads and bridges
of the county. it is hereby ordered
by this court that every male person
not under 2l nor over 80 years OF
age who resides in any road precinct,
and is not pauper, having had at
least three days notice, shall between
the first day Of April and the first
day of September in the year 1897
and until otherwise ordered by this
court, shall attend in person or by
sufficient substitute with proper
tools, and work on the county roads
in such precinct under the direction
of the surveyor thereof, at such
places and on such days during the
said period as the said surveyor may
appoint, at least three days.

Every day the young botanist is seen
rambling over the hills and valleys in
search OF the now abundant fora.
Practical botany is certainly a delight

fully compensate for the labor expcn-
ded upon them.
The geology class expects to make
an excursion to Cheat river next Sat-

strata is there exposed To view. Prof
Brown knows infinitely the geology OF
