Fence Question.

There seems to be considerable com.
ment among the people over the fence
question. And it does seem that think
ing people could see at once that farm
ers living along water courses and
public roads where hogs can get moth
ing only when they break into grain
fields and forage off of some one else
for their living, that those living in
such places would naturally want re-
lief And our law makers have enacted
a law and our justices of the peace
have accepted the same, which l think
to take in consideration the large
amount of cleared land and small
amount of timber to fence from, that
they acted wisely in doing so. And
besides when people learn to keep
fewer hogs and better hogs, and to
keep them on their own premises, they
will have more meat and better meat,
aud be better pleased with the present
fence law, From expressions from
citizens the majority is in favor of the
present law, or no fence law, which
we hope will shortly be enacted.
