Carrying Fire Arms.
LOCAL MATTERS.[More...] CARRYING FIRE ARMS.--It's a disgrace to such a city and to such citizens as ours, at this day, to see big, able-bodied fellows pass along the side-walks, frequent saloons and billiard rooms, and indeed, attend social parties and even church service, with a huge knife and navy shooter stuck about them, as if they were among a pack of savages. Will it be stopped?
