Two mules belonging to George
Hammond. colored, living on Mr.. James
Shockley's farm near Five Mile Branch,
were taken sick last Monday. DIR. Black
was summoned. and suspecting ptomaine
poisoning. he gave directions for the
| feed and water of the stock to be
changed. These orders were disregarded
and on Tuesday the two mules died.
On Wednesday another mule developed
the same symptoms. and on Thursday a
fourth mule and a horse were likewise
stricken. These three. at last reports,
were in a critical condition. DIR. Black
made careful analysis of the water,
which was supplied by a pump alongside
the pound, and found Il 10 contain a
quantity of decaying animal matter.
which, DIR. Black says, is undoubtedly
the cause of the trouble. Too much at
tention cannot be given TO the sanitary
conditions surrounding our source of
drinking water, MS il affects the health
and life Of both man and beast. and a
failure TO do so is often fraught with
terrible consequences.
