20 Office Superintendent Freedman's Village Va August 27" 1867 Special Orders No 1 Worthless dogs are so numerous in the village as to amount to an intolerable nuisance; especially at night is their barking and howling noxious to all persons who desire quiet and sleep.

If this request is not complied with, in a reasonably short space of time, an order will be issued for the destruction of all unlicensed dogs in the village. By order H. N. Howard A. A.
