Especial to The Statesman
MASON, Feb. 4.-One result of the
fence cutting trouble in Tom Green
and Brown counties, has been the
turning loose of large quantity OF
stock, which has drifted south as near
as the San Saba river. Parties from
the latter place report that large
number of these drifted cattle have
been blotched by persons unknown,
but supposed to be fence cutters or
parties in favor of free range, with
the object to work them off in their
favor later. Sheriff Miller, of Nc
Cullough county, has been. placed in
charge of the herd, and will hold
them for Identification by the various
stock holders. A systematic plan of
stealing cattle, blotching the brands,
and then turning them loose to be
gathered afterwards, has been going
on for some time, but heretofore did
not reach the present proportions.
Considerable excitement exists among
stockmen, and trouble is expected.
The herd now numbers from five to
seven hundred, and the cattle are still
coming in.

Thousands of men die every day
who could be saved. Prejudice is
mainly to blame for this loss of life.
If it were believed that the sum of
disease may certainly be reduced by
physic, much would be gained. And
yet the proposition is very simple: if
you take out daily more impurities
than is daily generated, you will soon
be rid of impurities. The effect of
this wise practice is soon seen in Bill
ious, Liver and Kidney troubles. But
it is equally of value in head aid brain
affections; in Pleurisy, Pneumonia,
Apoplexy, and Paralysis.
In chronic and acute Rheumatism,
and in all affections of the bowels,
this principle soon relieves and cures,
when the medicine used is BRAND
RETH'S PILLS.
Yes, when all other means and med
ic1ne have failed to relieve from pain,
these pills have cured, by taking i'm
purities from the bowels and blood,
and thousands of men and women
now place BRANDRETH'sPILLs among
the blessings of mankind. eod&W

An Undouhted blessing.

About thirty years ago a prominent
physician by the name of DR.. William
Hall discovered or produced after long
experimental research, a remedy fol
diseases of the throat, chest and lungs
which was of such wonderful efficacy
that it soon gained wide reputation
in this country. The name of this
medicine is DIR. VIM. HALLS BAL.

be safely relied on as speedy and
positive cure for coughs, colds, sore
