A Plague Residents in the yicin- |
ity of the public school and also in
other parts of town are complaining |
bitterly of the mosquitoes, which |
have become quite numerous since |
the late rains. The city fathers should |
have some oil put on standing water
about town and have the pools |
drained. in order to exterminate the /
pest. With the large influx of home !
seekers now in progress, it will hurt /
to have so many mos |
quitoes reported here. Mosquitoes !
are looked upon by most people of |
as dangerous, and. as they /
can be so easily gotten rid of, there
IS no excuse whatever for their being
permitted TO feed upon the people
here
