Persons owning canines should call
on Chief of Police Camp or Officer
Lipscomb and secure a muzzle and
tax receipt at once. Otherwise you
are liable to lose your dog, as the
officers have instructions to kill all
dogs found running at largo without
a muzzle.
There is some dissatisfaction about
the dog muzzle law. It looks like an
injustice tit require the owners to pay
taxes and muzzle them too. It would
he sufficient to pay tuxes and only
muzzle those known to ho vicious.
It’s rather tough on the dog tore-
quire him to wear a muzzle this hot
weather.
