over this place last Saturday aft
ernoon. Much damage was done
to the standing corn, garden veg
etables suffered considerable

needed.
The fact that four, and perhaps
five new dwelling houses are to

Close observers claim that there
are not nearly as many flies in
town as during the former sum-
mers. Large traps that are be-
ing set in front of shops show
that there are still some flies; but
the traps do not fill as rapidly as
they did last summer. The gen.
eral public is beginning to real
ize the fly nuisance can be great
ly reduced by cleaning up the
breeding places. Small manure
piles, piles of garbage, &C., if
left lie for a short time afford
breeding places for millions of
the disease-carrying insects.
