ONLY ONE CASE OF
HOG CHOLERA NOW
IN COUNTY LIMITS

1000 WITHIN THE LAST TWO
WEEKS.
OTHER COUNTIES ARE INFECTED
Dr. o'Connor Appeals to the Farmers
to Observe Certain Precautionary
Measures in Order to Prevent Re-
currence of This Dread Plague.
(By DR.. O'Connor.)

Now that the cholera situation is
so well in hand, there being hardly
any to speak of, the farmers are ear
nestly solicited to aid the govern
ment and state officers in holding 1t
at the present low mark. At the
present writing, there is but one case
of active infection in the county.
A few things that will tend to give
cholera a new foothold have come 10
our attention recently The first is
the fact that quite few cattle have
died from corn smut. Several of the
farmers. too, have been somewhat
careless about burning the carcasses
| of these cattle. Consequently, this
office has been kept busy investigat-
ing reports of this negligence and re-
questing the owners of the stock to
burn these carcasses. So far, all re-
quested have complied. However, we
are not authorized by the government
to incur the expense necessary for
these auto trips. So farmers will be
expected to obey the law in the fu-
ture without requests from US. to that
effect.
Another thing, which is still worse
than the foregoing is the practice OF
allowing the entrails of butchered
animals to be eaten by dogs and buzz
yards. There is a state law which re-
lquires them to be burned to ashes
within twentyfour hours after death.
| This county just now is in a class
by itself, having no cholera with the
Bridge road, while in every other
county of the state cholera is rife.
In Williamson county alone, it is re-
ported that over 900 hogs have died
within the past two weeks from this
dread scourge. Now it is up to the
Maury county farmer to help keep
! this record, for without his help our
office could not exist, and it would be
deplorable at this time if the farm
ers were content to let well enough
, alone, and again allow cholera TO get
a foothold in the county.
Let every farmer burn his dead car
casses, let him urge his neighbors to
do lkewise,k keep your hogs off of the
road, watch your stock and help your
neighbor do likewise, and when your
hogs get sick in the least, then call
the government Office in the court
house at once.

PETROGRAD, Nov. 25.-Delivering
smashing attacks along the czestoch-
awa-cracow line the Russians have
captured the AustroGer trenches
at many points, according to reports
received from the front today The
central Russian army pierced the Ger
man lines and defeated a juncture
with the southern forces which have
also beaten the Germans back. The
Cossacks slaughtered a large force CT
Germans which had been driven into
the swamps north of Lodz and refus-
ed to surrender. The Cossacks took
two heavy batteries. The army mes
senger says that although great bod
les of Germans are fleeing, the victo-
ry is not yet complete. There is no
attempt to minimize the Russian loss,
as the cost of victory was simply
enormous. More than twelve towns
were destroyed. The country is de-
vastated as if by cyclone or earth
quake.

Cattle Quarantine to be Raised
Friday.

A press dispatch from Washington
says Congressman HI. M. TOwner has
secured a promise from the depart
ment of agriculture that it wiz lift
the foot and mouth disease quaran-
tine in the western part of Iowa on
Friday, providing no new cases of the
disease developed before that date.
There is only small affected area
in Iowa where the disease has ap-
peared, Iowa, Cedar, Jones, Jackson
and Clinton counties, these all being
contiguous in the east central part
of the state, and it is thought the
area from which the quarantine will
be raised will include Decatur coun-
ty, as there have been no cases of the
disease in this part of the state.
