Dogs.

The people in the upper end of
town say there are many more
dogs in their end of the city than
can be conveniently cared for.
Some families have as many dogs
in and about their houses as an
Indian encampment and at night
they are lulled into deep sIumber by
cannie solos, quartetts and full
ohoruses howled in the popular
"rag-time" music. The sleepers
have tried shoes, toilet articles and
coal, but the fusilade results in
only temporary discord and the
consequent loss of the articles
fired; and now they say they will
use shot guns if the "dog-killer''
don't come around and give them
some relief

in this place is saw mill. 1t is

where the proprietor gets the
