rhe Town Cow Ordinance.

The town COW is u cherished in
..;tution in many families, and is
.aally a necessary evil. The city
.ouucil ordinance which says all
Avs must keep decent hours and
report at headquarters promptly
Il seven o'clock every evening or
90 TO jail" is working a hard
sb;p on some people and also on
some cows. While we cannot
blame the city ''pounder" for
closely watching his job, we feel
that some modification of this time
ouobt to be extended. Town cows
vhich are driven out to pastures
green every day enjoy the shade as
mueh as some people we know,
sspecially in the heat of the day,
and grazing time comes. with the
cooler air of the evening.
The sun is yet high in the heav-
sus at 7 o'clock and anyone who
m;lks COW will concede the most
agreeable time to milk is just
obout dark. If the trainers of the
oow ordinance will reconsider
inst a little" they would confer
hoon ON many citizens.

last Monday morning had COM

arrangements and already had
lumber on the ground to repair
the bridge which fell yesterday.
There is no excuse to offer, the
bridge was unsafe, and very few
men would risk their teams upon
it. The necessary repairs would
have been made sooner but for the
fact of high water in the creek be-
low which prevented.
