Typhoid Fever.

The Bulletin of the Virginia
Board of Health for August, in an
article on typhoid fever, saws you
must look well to your water supply
and see that it is pure. In part the
article is as follows:
Typhoid fever is reported as
prevailing in sixty-five of the one
hundred counties of the State
What is the cause of the general
outbreak of this dreadful disease
throughout the State? 1t is stat
ed to be beyond question water
born disease, and due to the contain
ination of the water supply in the
various cities, towns and homes.
Look carefully to your well, cistern
or spring. See to it that it is well
drained and protected. Every well
should be cleaned at least once a
year, the water drawn off, and all
debris such as frogs, cats, etc, re-
moved.

Stockmen Should Organize.

Editor Highland Recorder:
Sometime ago | noticed in your
paper an editorial note suggesting
that the stockmcn Of our county
form an organization for the pur-
pose of an Interchange of views,
and lettering the condition Of our
stock, and thus increasing our
wealth. &c.
This, to my mind, Mr. Editor, is
a move in the right direction. Our
county is a stock county. From
stock we deriye ALI our income,
and anything that will help to i'm
prove our stock, and increase it's
value, is money to us as people.
Let the organization be formed
without delay. Let US meet COM
pare views, give our experiences,
and each learn from the other
something that will kelp US all
and be money to US mo one Of us
knows it all. An exhibition of our
stock, would give great impetus
10 the business. Now let us not
put off a matter of so much i'm
portance, but let US act at once.
If our stock men, all oyer the corl-
ty. will make it a point to be at
our next county court (Sept. 2O)
and talk the matter over, and get
it started, they will do themselves
and the county at large great
service. Interested.
The above is from a prominent
,stockman Of the county, one who
has for several years been interest
ed in the improvement of stock,
and we are glad to see him endors-
ing and urging al organization.
We have not the space for further
comment in this issue, bpt we hope
the aboye suggestion of a meeting
on court day will be carried out,
and that we may have. in the mean
time, expressions from others.
