We are aware that our city marshal has mentioned the fact of the existence of such obnoxlonsness to owners of different premises, but he does no more.

Merely speuking to the property owner of the condition of affairs about his premises will not purify the atmosphere in that locality. We arc informed by a letter from Mr.

By the lime we got our bucket and were fairly under headway, some of the fellows had reached the house aud found out that it was all a mistake. Mrs.

Rambo was making jelly and the sweetened fluid had accidentally boiied over on the stove, making the smoke that so excited the men up the street.
