DOG LAW A DEAD LETTER
Commissioners of Revenue Want Pay

fSpecial Dispatch to The Times

Especial Dispatch to The Times.)
LOUISA, VA, August 1S.-The passa &c
OF the law taxing dogs to pay damages
to sheep was most agreeable to sheep
owners. and the interest in the business
was greatly revived. But it is dead
letter, as the commissioners of revenue
have failed to list dogs The commits
sioners claim there was arrangement
made for paying them for this extra
work.
So the owners of focks must take all
risks. The number of dogs, it is thought,
have increased during the last few years.
Good rains recently have been very
beneficial to the corn and tobacco crops.
To this time there is not as many to-
bacco worms as usual Last year they
damaged the crop very much.
Protracted meetings, for both white
and colored, is the principal attraction
now.
If the tobacco worms appear now they
will find the fields unprotected.
It would be a great boon to the to-
bacco growers if the protracted meetings
could be held after tobacco planting or
cutting or during the winter months,
when farmers are not so busy.

ANNOUNCEMENTS OF
The RAILROADS
A Huge Success.

The hourly trains between New York
and Philadelphia via the New Jersey
Central have not only proven a great
success, but have met the demands OF
the travelling public in every instance.
Hourly trains were indeed an up-to-
date move, and when the schedule Is
fast, the stops few, and the time SO con-
venient to remember, "a train every
hour and on the hour) there is no Won
der at the hit they made. The New
Jersey Central is trap rock ballasted,
the rails are new and heavy, the trains
are the latest models, lighted by gas,
the aisles carpeted, the attendants cour-
teous, hard coal is used exclusively,
hence no dust, cinders or smoke. Every
Philadelphia train has a modern Pull
man attached, and such conveniences
served to make the New Jersey Central
the model railroad of the world. If
you want time tables or other infor-
nation, write to G. M. Burt, general
passenger agent, New York.
