AUSTIN, December IA, 1885.
The executive committee of the Texas
Live Stock association, feeling the neces-
sity of a full and an enthusiastic attend
ance at our next annual meeting, urge
upon each and every member of the asso-
citation to come forward and be on hand,
so that our deliberations may result
i'll great good to the live stock in
terests of the state. More especially do
we insist upon full attendance, as we
have information of the location of line
running from north to south across our
state, said line having been surveyed by
an agent CT the Animal Industry bureau
for the purpose of establishing a dead,
or quarantine, line, which will, if our
stockmen i'll south and east Texas
remain quiet and take no
interest in establishing, work great detri
ment to their business.
Now is the time to be up and doing, be-
fore such line becomes fixture. Let
the cattle men of south and east Texas
ulGOG UuOiE DE6UHE0u 1EOI uOEUu duu W0SG
Texas, and, with that friendly feeling,
speak out freely at our next meeting, shat
their voices may be heard and their inter
ests protected. North Texas will come to
the aid of their brethren in the south But
the south is, in the main the sufferer.
And, as the agent Of our association, we
appeal to all alike. Give warning to our
members in the south to be up and doing.
With full attendance of the members of
our association, in January next, we
should speak out in such a tone that our
enemies will respect and our friends as
sist US. So come with your minds well
matured and a plan of action mapped
out which may be used to the good of all.
There are many questions of interest
which will come up for action before our
next meeting, but none of SO vital inn
portance as the giving of our consent to
the location of the dead or quarantine
line.
Again we appeal to you to protect your
interest; and we feel confident you will not
be found wanting in that work which so
many are waiting and watching the re-
suit.
By order of the Executive Committee,
G. w. LITTLEFIELD,
