A team of tennis enthusiasts from Bloomsburg visited Danville yesterday and played a friendly match with two Farmers Will Be Notified On Saturday Market On Friday.

The Milton bridge over the Chillis-quaque creek at Washingtonville, the contract for which was awarded to A. Buohanan last Saturday, it seems, will not be built by that company.

The contract was legally awarded and the county commissioners are in no wise responsible for the unexpected hitch that occurred. The contract Saturday was awarded to A. Buchanan for $2149.00, the next lowest bidder being Nelson Merydith represented at the letting by J. B. Long, agent, whose bid was fi31o.

The merchants are desirous of ob a couple of large flower beds, which situation was fully explained to the official, who it was thought would approve of a quarantine on the south side. The outcome, however, is wholly problematical. During an interview with the special agent yesterday it was learned that the State Live Stock Sanitary board in the past has never ordered a quarantine against dogs except in boroughs or townships where there has been an actual outbreak of rabies. The mere fact that a district adjoins another in which the dogs are under quarantine does not have much weight with the Live Stock Sanitary board. A line must be drawn somewhere.

To illustrate, the agent explained, if Riverside could with propriety ask a quarantine, then the district lying immediately beyond that would in turn be in a position to demand the same. Mr. iTulmer said he would lay the matter before the State Live Stock Sanitary board. serving the Fourth of July in a fitting will be located near the concrete sidewalk.

On Sunday evening- a very import agricultural sections of the State come the reports that the crops will be unusually large, which is a harbinger of better times. The Franklin Repository gives this glowing account: "From all indications this year will be the largest harvested in Franklin county in many years. The hay now being cut is as thick as it could possibly be and is of a high grade.

The wheat, corn and oats also look most encouraging. These crops will mean an immense amount of money for distribution in the community, a large per centage of which will find its way into the various business interests of our own section. Large crops always mean increase in general business in an agricultural country, such as curs, aud there are many people beside the farmer who are rejoiced over the ant meeting will be held, at which it Against Dogs. The number of dogs that have been killed by the officers since the quarantine was established is now forty-five. To this number the officers say should oe added at least twenty other dogs, that were put out of the way by their owners.

The officers have had a strenuous time of it for the last week or more. There is not a day but they tread several times over the borough, frequently retracing their steps and repassing the same point within a few hours. It often happens that they have just sought their beds after fifteen or eighteen hours hard work, when they are called out by some one who has discovered an unmuzzled dog in a remote part or town. In such cases the officers invariably respond and turn out and shoot the dog, after which they make another attempt to secure rest. Never before was a quarantine so rigidly enforced, thanks to the vigilance and determination of the officers.
