Movable Poultry Fences.

When for any reason one does not
care to go to the expense of permanent
fences around the poultry yard, NOV
able fences like that shown in the cut
may be used to advantage. They cost
but little, and II well made will last
for several seasons. The sections, as
shown, may be of any dimensions de-
sired, although II alb ut four feet high
and six feet long they can be better
handled than when larger. The frame
may be of any light weight material,
and should be made so that it will be
as stiff as possible. 1t might be good

about by trying to keep too many

the change was agreeable. To-day

Last week the wagons came in
from Rio Grande City. D. Santiago
Pefa told we that a general quar-
antine had been established against
Mexico. He states that a train of

and held incommunicado. He also
says that communication between
Corpus and Laredo by rail has
entirely ceased, and all mail held
up.

Yesterday an agent for the Sun

D. Encarnacion Rodriguez has

LAREDO, THE STRICKEN
CITY.

Laredo is in need. Our neighbor
calls for help. Stricken with ter
zible scourge. impoverished from
continued isolation from sources Of
material supplies. All exchange OF
commerce stopped. The city'sSown
resources exhausted. All the cities,
counties and States in two republics
holding a strict quarantine against
afflicted Laredo, and she, for the
protection Of the people in other
places, strengthening this quaran-
tine by prohibiting admission OF
any person into the city and con-
fning all who leave in sanitary
camp for ten days, thus the fair
Gate City finds herself distressed,
suffering from fatal disease and
fearful famine
To the prosperous, protected and
generous people of Texas, whether
Of city or country, Laredo sends a
cry of distress. In this hour of her
dire need, in this time of her phys
ical extremity we know that her
signal for aid will not be made in
vain. We know that in the bosoms
Of Texans there beat hearts ever re-
sponsive to the demands of human
adversely. We know that in all
Texas, in no part of its illimitable
and matchless confines there lives
no one, however humble in station,
however embarrassed in material
things himself, who is a fit and
worthy citizen of this imperial
State, that will turn a deaf ear to
the appeal for help from brave La
redo.
Citizensi Countrymen! hearken
TO the cry of your scourged and suf-
feriug fellow beingsr They need
instant relief and ii must be fur
nished! Time was when Browns
Tss similarly distressed. Her
ppeal was answered abundantly,
ind Laredo should now receive
from the plenty with which Nature
has generously furnished US a lib
eral allowance. Brownsville's con-
iribution may be made in whatever
form is most convenient, but it
should be made Immediately.
Hon. James B. Wells has been
notified that Laredo needs help.
THE HERALD publishes a story of
woe in today's issue. The conditions
there are far more terrible than hath
yet been told or can be conceived
in superficial surmise. Citizens of
Brownsville! Your sister city calls
to you for aid Your sister, who has
proven her friendship and who now
is besieged with foul disease, famine
and misery unimagined Be not UNI
grateful nor ungenerous, but go
about at once the work Of getting
up a contribution for Laredo.
