Mr. Editor:?1 believe the peoi pie of Louisbnrg will think as we do as to having the beef, fish and other meat markets all under one | roof where they can be made sani-1 tary and certainly free from flies. At the next meeting of our Town Commissioners we will suggest that they secure the long room next to] the river in the Anthony Neal building then we will have room for five or six stalls tor meats and fish, each stall thoroughly enclosed in wire netting top sides and. front with a spring screened door. We can have a zinc lined trough running the length of the building, through each stall to empty into the river; do not allow anything thrown out ot the windows, which will be screened also. All doors leading in and out to have spring screens on them. We haven't anything to pay' against our present olever market men, but no one can have a perfeotly olean and sanitary market unless it is arranged as above suggested. There has been much complaint of flies at all the markets,.and especially the fish market on the streets. Let us work together\in all health lines J. E. MAi.o.vE. r .I v r n t: E STATE, THE UNIOIf.

Poultry raising is gaming by leaps and bounds all over . the State and many of our most alert citizens are devoting time and money to its exploitation. The art, however, has its dangers as well as its rewards, and the most prominent of the former lies in the ease with which the . chickens over-run neighboring premises. The ohicken is an inquiring fowl and its investigations frequently lead it into private honses wherein no room whioh has an open door is exempt from research. All of whioh is bad enough if the bird is one's own but if it be a neighbor's straying pioperty a fend of more or less bitterness is not unlikely to ensue. A citizen of Elizabeth City has endured a considerable amount of this particular type of nuisance with patience, but recently he decided that patience bad ceased to be a virtue under the circumstances. "This spring," says The Independent of this householder, "he saw bed after bed of flower seed destroyed. There were chickens in the back yard, chickens in the front yard and chickens in the house. The chickens went to their owners' yards only long enough to lay. It never seemed to occur to the folks who owned the chickens that they keep them at home. So last week -ijua-jnan_r.augilt a trespassing fowl and decaptated it. The corpse was then displayed with" .ay placard warning the neighborhood that such would be the fate of other chickens that got in the way. Yesterday a six-shooter was employed and another bird killed." We do not think _that the Kliza| beth City man is alone in his feelings [ about, neighbor's chiokens which j evince too friendly, curiosity, j Chicken raising is an absorbing and (profitable business, but it should be conducted upon one's own piemises and not in oiher folks' porches and kitchens. We believe that a widespread realization of the principle involved would make greatly for the peaoe and dignity of the Commonwealth. ? Charlotte Observer.
