State News.

The Police Jury Of East Feliciana
has passed an ordinance prohibiting
live stock of any description from
running at large, ander penalty of
S25 for each offense. In the case of
hogs, sheep and goats, citizens are
empowered to shoot them when tres
passing on their premises.
During the past dry Summer
thousands of hogs have starved to
death in Morehouse parish. The
drouth destroyed the corn crop last
year, and the farmers had mono to
feed hogs with; hence the scarcity
of razor-backs, says the Appeal.
In portions of Union and Lincoln
parishes there has been but little
rain within the past year, and in
some sections the drouth has pre-
vailed for nearly two yearsi Hun
dreds of farmers will be compelled
to abandon their homes.
