Rough on HagerstOWn.

If there is place anywhere in the
United States of America that needs a
thorough Kidding of roughs and toughs,
street walkers and loafers, boozers and
rummies, saloons and immoral houses,
that place is Hagerstown. The occur
rences there in police circles, as record
ed almost daily in the three wide-awake
and alert newspapers, are enough to
cause the better class of citizens to sci
up and think little. Remove the saloon
and the bawdy house and the solution is
solved. Valley Register.
