where she is. Don't you think I did right
to sign the petition for new vote on the
stock law' What do you believe9
TAXPAYER.
We believe majority of the property
holders and taxpayers of Alexander coun-
ty are in favor of a stock law; law that
will do away with the necessity of fences
entirely, and allow the farmers in the dis
tricts subject to overflow to expend the
time and money now required for rebuild
ing fences every season, In better cutiva-
ton Of their farms, and we think 1t only re-
qures to be placed before the people in
right light to be carried by a round ma.
jority. The prairie counties needed stock
laws and passed them; Alexander county
needs stock law more than any prairie
county, because no fence, wire or rails will
withstand the Mississippi river when It 10
out ofits banks. All must be rebuilt when
the floods have run out. There is q great
deal Of truth in the trenchant remark Of :

here. There is no doubt but that the
sentiment Of the people of this Terri
tory is practically unanimous in favor
Of forfeiture of these onearned lands.
We suggest that Mr.. White be fur
nished by the officers of the meetings
already held and Of others which will
undoubtedly take action on this sub
ject, with reports of the proceedings
aud copies Of the resolutions adopted,
accompanied with petitions, If any have
been circulated. by 50 doing he will be
enabled to present the views Of citizens
in every section Of this Territory to the
committees Of Congress before whom he
will appear. The subject is one of per
ssnal and vital interest to every resi-
dent, and full expression Of public
sentiment should be had. The commit
tee are busily engaged in collatinR facts
in support of the action demanded Of
Congress. these. If supplemented by
popular Endorsement, AZ herein indi-
Gated. cannot fail to have due weight
