EDITORIAL AND LOCAL.

A dog license is now in force at
Sterling. An ordinance fixing
such license was passed by the
board of trustees Of that town
some time since, but its operation
was suspended for a time by reas-
on of an injunction issued by
Judge Armour at the request of
some of the dog owners. The in
junction was dissolved last week
and all owners of dogs in Sterl-
ing must now pay license.
Such an ordinance would be a
good thing in Julesburg, and
would no DOUBT serve to rid the
town of numerous useless CANNES,
and thereby abate great NUS
ancc.
