1t is rumored that the incoming
administration will require all dogs
to be kept up the same as other
property. West Virginia has had a
great deal Of hydrophobia during the
past year and we think this is a step
in the right direction and is much
better than the sneaking way of dis
posing of dogs by scattering poison,
thus endangering the lives of inno-
cent people.

There has been a resurrection in
Belington. A lot of alleys which
have been dead for more than twenty
years have been brought to life and
will probably produce goodly crop
of weeds this season. But be that
as it may, these alleys are city prop
erty and should have been opened
long ago.
