Editor Vlrglnlan-Pilot:
I have been right much interested In
your crusade against the bogus milk
of Norfolk. While 1 am in favor of a
milk Inspector nnd think the majority
of the dairymen who supply the city
with milk would be in favor of one.
and that there was bogus milk on the
market the first of the present week,
which, from nil accounts, was the
poorest specimen ever offered to anv
people for milk, 1 hardly think that
the supply is as poor ns one would
imagine from readlng your editorial.
I am a dairyman and help to supply
the city with milk, and as a rule only
furnish the milk from my own dairy,
but on special occasions I have to buy
some from dealers, which was the case
on the 24th Instant. And I am B?rry
to say that 1 -got some of that bogus
milk, but not knowingly. The milk
was bought and paid for a week ahead
and I had no thought but that I would
got tho genuine articles. I think as a
rule that the people of Norfolk can get
pure milk and of as fine quality as can
be gotten anywhere, for you can find
good dairies here and kept by gentle?
men of known integrity.
You can find bogus butter also In
unknown quantities, but those who
choose can Und the genuine article. So
1 hope that yoHi will not be too hard .>n
US because you got a little chalk and
water one time. Remember that Christ?
mas comes but onco n. year.
but YOU MAY ITT ME DOWN AS
BEING IN* FAVOR OF A MILK IN?
SPECTOR IN SOME FORM -BOARD
OF HEALTH OR OTHERWISE.

Prop. The Banner Dairy.

Before Mr. Lowenberg proceeds to
mark up and display the "Belles of
War.'' mentioned in your issue today,
he should inform himself as to the
facts, of tho tight and origin of the
aforesaid relics. When be does ho will
find they wore not bred AT the "Nor?
folk Light Artillery Blues" or fired
FBOM a "Meet Of monitors." He will
nnd that most, If not all, the largo
shells were fired from the steamer
Montlccllo, Commando** Bralne, and at
a detachment of - the old "Norfolk
Juniors" (under command of Lieuten?
ant Holmes), the "Hunter Wood Is"
Hilles, commanded by Captain, now
Colonel Lamb, and a detachment of
"Colqultt's Georgia Battalion."
Among the relics MAY be found
some ritte shells Hrod from a "Sawyer"
gun located on the Rip Raps, and
POSSIBLY A FEW from the old frig?
ate. St. Lawrence, on tho day of the
Merrlmac light at Newport News. But
I am Stilt 10 that 80 per cent, of the
relics were tired Into und around the
works by the Montlcello.

NEWS WITH A POSTSCRIPT.
(Richmond Dispatch.)
At Curryylllo a few- nights neo a
party of miners, after bran ling a negro
on his forehead and other parts . his
body with a red-hot poker, gave hl;n a
"mock" trlni.
The sentence was thft't he be burned
to death In a stove, and In his strug?
gles to escape from the tortures tho
poor wretch burned his hands to a
crisp.
The offense of the negro was that he
attempted to steal a ride on a railway
train.
P. S.?We had nearly forgotten to
mention that Curryvllle Is In th6
"highly civilized" State of Indiana, and
not In the "barbarous South."
