AS the result of maddog scare in
which it is said dog belonging to W.
T.Dayett went mad recently, the Town
Council has followed the course of
Smyrna and taken extra precaution to
prevent the spread of hydrophobia.
Dogs running at large were ordered to
be muzzled and those not complying
with the ordinance were subject to be
shot down on the streets. As the re-
suit, number Of dogs, most of which
were worthless ours, were killed. 1t
appears that the same dog which went
ON a rampage in Smyrna recently, was
also in Clayton and that Dayetts dog
was one of its victims. Dayett's dog it
is said went mad in his yard, aud
when its condition was seen, it had to
be brought under subiectlon by means
of pinning it to the ground with pitch
fork before it was shot. The mad
dog scare has caused considerable con
sternation in town and il is to be hoped
that the prompt action of the Town
Council will prevent any more trouble
