Burn AL Dead Animals,

Now that Charlton is ravagina the
country we are glad to notice that the
Police Jury have passed an ordinance
commanding under the heavy penalty
Of a fine Of $50, that all stock dying in
this parish of Charlton or any infections
or contagious disease be burned or
buried. This is but right, for every
dead animal allowed to lie in the hot
sun to tester and rot becomes a source
of Infection e~nda4lgering the lives of all
the animals and ven the people Of that
neighberhood. As fire is a powerful
disinfectant and absolutely destroys all
contagion we do not think any safer,
better mode of disposing of dead stock
can be adopted, than promptly burning
them, if practical, right on the spot.

of her class at Harvard. Her English
is remarkable for its purity. This fact
was a wonder to DIR. Hale. Miss Sulli-

when it is remembered that she has
never heard any bad English.
Helen is interested in all the sports

wonderful faculty, she plays a remark
