Jasper's Fire Alarm.
A bill pending before the legislature
prohibiting the discharge of firearms
after night, if passed and made a law,
would be good one in one sense of
the word, as 1t would do away with so
such devilment among the class of

tubers. Just about time the Florida
markets are filed with frying size
chickens the hens about Chicago and
