Last Saturday morning or late
Friday afternoon the buffalo gnat
made its appearance in this district,
and those lying adjacent, and since
then nearly 200 head of valuable
mules and horses have died, to say
nothing of the sheep and cattle.
This is the first fatal visit the gnat
has ever made to this portion of the
county, and our farmers were not
prepared to take care of their stock,
and in fact in a great many lnstan-
ces the mules and horses were kept
at work until they dropped dead at
