HORSES DYING IN PAMLICO.
The Disease is Fatal and Confined to the Mos
quito District.

Now the news comes from Pamlico
county that horses there are dying at a
rapid rate, and the people are asking
that veterinarian be sent down to tell
them what to do. The disease seems to
be the same as that which is killing the
horses of Hyde county and is most preva-
lent in the lower part of the county,
where the mosquitoes have been very
bad.
For the want of a better name the
people of that section call the trouble
inflammation of the BRAIN" but they do
not know what it is or how to treat it.
A correspondent writes: THE horses are
dying and we have heard of about twenty
dying and more getting sick, have heard
of but one getting better. 1t seems to
be sure death when one is taken sick.
Also in some parts of Pamlico cholera
is killing the hogs at terrible rate.

Again we call the attention of stock
men in this vicinity to the advantage
of advertising their brands in the
Grit-Advocate. Ours is the only paper
in Sedgwick county and besides oe-
ing read by every family in this coun-
ty it has a large circulation in adjacent
counties. Every one will admit that
the more familiar people generally are
with his stock brand the less liability
there is for the loss of his stock.
Since this is fact, the only question
is how to make the brand familiar to
the people. The best method is by
advertising it in Il newspaper OF gem
eral circulation in the community
where the stock range. For Sedgwick
county Stockmen the Crit Advocate is
the only medium for advertising, and
it is good one. Our price on yearly
contract is low for brand advertis-
ment. We should ike to advertise
the braud Of every stockman in the
county. and we shall be glad to quote

Aud trying to scratch out his eyes

For not being armed with gun.
He did not feel very brave.
On, on rushed the monster so fierce,
While John could scarce get his

And the monster was sent to its
