This is the county where so much serious consequences have arison over dipping cattle and ever vat in the county has been dynamited except two and pitched battles have raged.

    Beneficial work has been done in the city by the authorities this year. They have built good streets claying and rounding them up wherever needed until they are now hard surfaced, dug out several ditches where draining was needed, opened up sewers, built side walks, put in new coping and got a lot of new piping put in and a lot more on hand for use and have tried, making a start at cleaning up generally. In six years the streets have not been as good as now. Even the sore out cemetery way is all right.
    Wrightsville's summer health will be normal providing cess pools and dirty hog pens are cleaned up and the authorities say they are going to see they are.
