1t developed at the live stock meet
ing last Saturday that some persons
had been very careless in the disposi-
ton Of the curcasses Of animals which
had died Of contagious disease. The
law prescribes how such c~urcasses
shall be disposed Of and makes it a
criminal offence 10 EaiI to SO dispose
of them. There are now nearly a
hundred men in and around Okolona
who'are banded together to promote
the live stock interest ir this section,
and each is in DUTY bound to report
all violations Of the law as regards
the live stock interest. Now, if yor
violate the law and your neighbol
has the sheriff to make you an I'M
pleasant call you need not be the
least surprised, don't expect anything
else, it is and always has been hi'
duty TO see that the law is duly eX
ecuted and especially so when the
violation may lead to loss to himsel
and others.
