Wrong. III q Fact.

We are reliably informed that cat
tie from Fulton are being shipped
into Mexico. Whether for beef or
stock cattle We do not know. Cattle
from there should not be sent here.
Several cattle there have been killed
and the folks over in the Kingdom
have nearly stopped eating beef.
The worst of it is that one of the
cattle shipped here was sick. If it
was the pleuro-pneumonia it will
spread like wild fire. Our stock men
should attend to this matter.

John A Brooks, when in Mexico
last week. held a prohibition meeting
and the following county committee
was appointed:

Thos. Henson, j. +. Staffer. VIM.
Tarrah, J. L. Garner, S. T. Davis.
Chairman, ID. NJ. Hill; Secretary,
p. w. Harding, Treasurer, r. B.
Swift. One hundred dollars was
raised DIR. Reed gave $40. ID.
III. Hill, $40, &C., &c. We do not
know whether these gentlemen intend
to withdraw from the old parties with
which they have been identified or
not. We notice on this list the
names OF men who have been leaders
in the Democratic party and we
would be sorry to think they were
going to join with Brooks to break
down their party just now coming so
gloriously to the front. Surely these
gentlemen see the political trap
Brooks would lead them into. Dc
they intend to try to break up the
Democratic party and form a prohi.
bition party? They have a right to
try if they SO desire. but they should
SO declare themselves. We speak
only of the Democrats. We are
glad to see the Republicans go into
this. 1t is a good move for the
Demoerats-as far as il draws men
away from the Republican party.
Brooks can't iuggle with politicians
as be thinks he does with his church
people.
