BULLOCK COUNTY ITEMS.
The Hog ChOlera-DeniaI of It's Exist
ence in BulIOch COunty-A Case of
burglary.

CorrespoRdeRce Of the HorRiHg Netcs.
WE, BULLOCK COUNTY, GA. oct. 81. .
We understand that it is rumored
among the fresh meat dealers of Savan-
nah that hogs through this section of the
State are suffering from an epidemic of
cholera. In fact that some one writing
from Etiingham county has stated that
this was the case i'm that and adjoining
counties. Now, Mr.. Editor, as the people
Of BullOch county are seriously injured
by this statement, since it Injuries the sale
OF their pork, and "a the statement is un-
true, SO lar as this county is concerned,
l think it would be well for your Eff
tngham correspondent to cOntine his pub
lished statements to such territory as he
knows the cholera to prevail in. | am
practlcing physician, and am in almost
! daily communication with an area OF
country from ten to fifteen miles square.
including the lower part of BuilOch and
the upper part Of Bryan counties. and
have nowhere heard of any hog cholera.
Besides, the people of all sections of Bull
loch, and some from Tatnall and Emanuel
counties are constantly passing my place,
and from none of them have | heard any
complaint of this fell disease. Parties
writing from the country should be more
guarded in their statements upon matters
which so seriously affect their own and
their fellOw-farmerS' interests. The poor
farmer has had disasters enough this year
without having the value of the only
thing which he has left out of which to
realize a little money deprecated by
such thOughtlessly untrue statements.
There are more pork hogs in the country
this fall than l have known here for ten
years. l mean more hogs intended for
bacon. But they are not IN the best con-
ditiOn owing to the fact that they have
not been able to get a sufficiency of
water for thrift. 1t is well-knOwn fact
among farmers that hogs do not fatten
rapidly on peas without plenty of water,
and it has been so dry that they have de-
rived comparatively little benefit from
the pea fields.
Mr.. Allison Deal, of this neighbOrhood,
had his house bUrglarized a few nights
since and robbed of his land papers and
over 500 in notes. No clue has as yet
been discovered TO the crime; but l hope.
though il is not probable, that Mr.. Deal
will sustain any loss except the trivial
cost of re-establishing his land papers.
that the criminal Will be caught and made
to suffer the severest penalty of the law.
Burglary in BullOch is of very rare occur
renee, and the way to keep up this most
desirable state of affairs is for all good
citizens to unite in ferreting out all such
Offenses. This, with the burning of the
lot of Mr.. G. W. Proctor, a near neighbOr
of Mr.. Deal and Mr.. b. l.. Turner, of
StatesbOrO, all of which has transpired
within the two months last past. are the
only cases of burglary or incendiarism
which have been perpetrated in the county
in years, and it is to be hoped such crimes
viii be nipped in the bud by the melting
out OF justice to the criminals.
