The quarantine against dogs ID
still on.
l know how foolish most people
are about dogs. If rabid dogs have
passed through your neighborhood,
get together and demand that all
suspected dogs be killed or muz-
zled. Then proceed to carry out
your demands. When you find a
dog running at large without muz-
zle give him a lead or strychnine
pill. When people will not respect
the interest of your children there is
no reason why you should show his
dog especial RESPECT.

called out of his house and shot to
death Sunday night. There were
several negroes in the house at the
time the killing occurred, but they
did not report it until the next
morning, as they said they were
afraid to come out of the house.
