Show Tvt'iioip is causing cousiderablo pn. easiness 'fit? tlio metropolis at present! Qtersovcnty cacos wera recently reported re-ported and Impuf6 watcjr Is tho pauso assigned by tho doctoia. I Is claimed that decaying vegetation is said tb bo a common cause of dctllcmcnt, apd tho city authorities uro making efforts to clean the sources Of the water' supply, considerable haying already been done in that Jlpo. Wo have- had sorao exper-ipneo exper-ipneo with typhoid hero In former years, and It id not at njl Improbable that wo may be visited again. Tho prc'sont season seems to bo a suitable 3no for It to appear. Wo.haye some of the condltions'Uiat arc" said to lnddco It and othdrs will grow out of them. We were all In hopes nine or ton ihonths since that by this time wis would have tho culinary water ln pipes ami a much better article than we had been in the habit of using. Hut fate or eomo other fellow has ordered it otherwlce, and we &UU have tho open ditches,' with all their 'attendant illtU nnd Inconvenience. In addition to this tlio wiso law which prevented animals from being watered at tho ditches from which wo arc compelled com-pelled to tako our culinary water, is in abeyance, bo that In tho master of clean water, wo are worse off than oyer. To inako thu matter oven worse tlnJ ditches aro so filled up with the fjrowth of cackle burs and tho rubbish, that they hayo caught, that the dribbling streams of water that can bo afforded to conic down thpm can hardly tlnd the;r way thru, apd the wlgglcrs have things all their pwn way. Jt is customary to de fer the cleaning out pf tho ditches until un-til tho leaves fall from tho trees, but it would bo a jealthy tiling to deal-, them out now so as to ayold drinking the tilth that Is in them, and possibly escape es-cape a sicgo of typhqlii. It is a question It it would bo any iporc expense than it will bo if tho old plan Is followed; but in uny rato it ought to be done iu tho Interest ot the health of tlio people. Aiu: you expecting to take any part In the County fair? Of course you aro aware that it begins on tho 2?ud of this month, and that if you intend to try for any of the prises offered by. tho commit tee It will be necessary (hat you should be up and iv doing. The harvest has beeti goot generally throughout thu county and there should be soiup most excellcut agricultural products on ex hlbltlon, and inatiy bt thciii ought to go from Cedar. Vvliat are you going to da about It fcllowtotvntmien, and you Kan-arra Kan-arra folks, too? This is a county fair you know, now cither take in your fine grain and prize vegetables, etc., or when the folks iu the north end Of the county craw Over you In these respects bo prepared to bear it all without kicking, kick-ing, for remember that it is reasonable to suppose that it you had had auy products pro-ducts worth short lug you would have had them In bight whero they would do the most good. It Is likely that tho sporting fratornlty will requlro uo urging, urg-ing, they aro generally iu CTideucc, but the farmer and gardner arc the men wc want to see show Up. Now tho lntrlusfp yaluo of tho prize ollercd is not much inducement it is true, but thu credit of winning lb something that uo ono can afford to despise. The premium llbt contalnb inducements tor stockmen also, al-so, and mechanics; and the Intention is evidently to encourago all the interests of tho community. Of course tho committee com-mittee must draw the line somewhere, and odrs scctu to have left tho newspaper news-paper and printing fraternity out, but will, forghc them for tho ommlsslon aud try to be aroUnd anyway. |
