We see from the Sherman Cour-
ier that it is made the duty of the
prosecuting attorney to bring suit
agahist all owners of dogs who do
not pay their canine tax of one dol-
lar per head, by the first of January.
We would advise all owners of
dogs to pay this trifle at once, as
otherwise they may have to bleed to
the amount of $20 or more.
Speaking of dogs reminds us that
there is also an ordinance in force in
our city, requiring owners of the ca-
nine species to pay a tax to the city
for the luxury of owning a purp, and
we are informed, that this ordinance
has netted the city the magnificent
sum the past year of five dollars.
We are convinced that 011 a low es-
timate there arc about 1000 dogs in
the city. Any one who will make
a tour of the town, especially in the
suburbs will agree that this is a very
low estimate. Five dollars realized
on tiiis ordinance and about 1000
purps in the city—this certainly is a
poor showing.
