per I wish to call the attention oi
the Board Of Supervisors Of Panola
County, to the fact that many
portions Of our county are infested
with large packs Of Wolves, aud
their depredations on the stock Of
the county are bccomingso frequent
that il is a nightly occurrsncs to
have sheep, hogs, calves, shoats and
in many instances grown hogs de-
voured by these rsvenous pests,
and night is made hideous By their
dismal bowling. Some farmers
have lost their entire stock Of sheep
and hogs. Some means should be
Immediately adopted 70 nd tne
community Of them. A suitable n
ward offered for each scalp would
very soon accomplish this object.
If we expect to make ours an inde-
penden. county we must raise stock
and any thing which prevents this,
should be obvitated and il is the duty
Of the Board Of Supervisors I, rem

SPECIAL NOTICES.
SPREAD THE TRUTH

Some medical men insist that il is unidentified
to advertise remedy, however valuable it may
be. Queer reasoning this. 1t is like saying
that An article which the world needs should
be hid In corner-that benefits and blessings
may be too widely ditfused-that the means of
protecting and restoring health should be q
close monopoly, and not accessible to all. The
argument is bad. 1t is worse than that; it is
lnhunaan. Suppose Hostetter's Stomach Bit.
ters-an absolute specific for dyspepsia, bilious
ness and nervous debiity-had never been
known beyond the repertoire of the faculty,
what would have been the consequence In
stead OF curing and invigorsting millions, the
good effects of the preparation would have been
conhned to comparative few. There Is the
highest authority for saying that light should
not De hid under bushel that whatever ia
excellent should be placed as q city on hill.
where sll men can take cognizance Of it. 1t is
upon this principal that the Bitters have been
advertised and continue to be advertised in ev.
cry newspaper ofsny prominence in the western
mails IN Its favor have been translated into all
written languages. Thousands enjoy perfect
health today who would be langushing on
beds OF sickness if the newspapers had not
spread the truth with regard 10 this unequalled
anrigorant and corrective far and wide. Suppose
pront has been reaped from this publicity. Is that
any argument against it? If the public health
has been protected If lives have been saved !
if the feeble have been strengthened and the sick
restored, great good has been accomplished; and
who s. mean MS TO grudge to exertlons thus dl-
rected tn cir fair reward ? oct lI-eowlW
