For weeks the newspapers have

This is wrong, doctors are liable to be
mistaken as well as common people.
We are glad to know that some
of ournewspaper men have concluded
to be responsible for what goes in their |

TO say the least, it looked a
little previous for Illinois to quairan-
tine against the whole state of Miss
ouri. But on the whole it was proba-
bly, Tor the best; as it was immediate
ly followed by Kansas, Iowa, and Col
orado, which aroused the people to a
realization of their perllous position
and caused determined action in the

Make.a thorough test of,,the
seed corn before planting. There is
vet ample time for corn crop if the
farmers are fortunate enough to get a

We have received the first num-
ber of the Weekly Florida Index, pub
llshed by w. NJ. Gill at Altoona,
Orange county. Florida. 1t is a neat
five column, eight page paper and does
credit to the VIDE reputation that its
publisher has achieved during his
twenty years experience as newspaper
man. Altoona is to be congratulated
in having secured a paper with Mr.
Gill at the helm. The Florida Index
has our slncerest wishes for an I'M
bounded prosperity.

We publish elsewhere com
munication from Judge Boynton, o
Sullivan county, to the SnkLiaan Stan
dard. Since putting 1t in type w
learn that the local efforts being
made in the afflicted districts, ar
likely to prevail, and that there il

ease has been stamped out of tht
state. Our cattle represent $4,000,
600 and with our cattle interests par
alyzed, the entire business of th'
state would be seriously crippled.
Through the courtesy of Hon
F. NJ, Harrington we are enabled thi!

It up again the last session and it be
came a law. We will continue tc
give from time to time the laws II
which our readers will be most inter
ested. Next week we will publish {
copy Of the law relating to the restrain
ing OF swine in townships.
