 New and Mysterious Disease Among Arkansas Hogs Proves to be Cholera
 Little Rock, July 4.-Many out breaks of so-called new and mys- terious disease among hogs in Ar kansas have been reported during the past few months. A number of these cases have been investigated by men of the State Veterinarians Office with the University of Arkan- sas and of the Federal Hog Control office and the greater per cent of these cases proved to be hog cholera. Some of the herds were effected with hemarrhagic, septicaemia and others with the so-called mixed in- lection of swine. Some reports

D. A. R. NOTES

Who knows where the first set clement in Lee County was made?
 Tn the Biographies and Historical Memoirs of Eastern Arkansas, Page 5-6-8 may be found the following:
 ''In 1929 there were not to ex- ceed forty families in what is now Lee County. The most densely settled portion was on Cow Bayou. Tn 1885 seven families entered from the state of Illinois and Indi- ana and located west of the L'An- guile River"
 On the island near the ferry land ing at T. c. Connor's there are sev- eral old log houses having heavy home made doors, but no windows
 Farther up the island, near the north heel of Cow Bayou Git is shaped like a horse shoe) are two other old houses built of hewn cy- press logs. Then there is the Me- Gully place that has been in cultiva- ton a long time. The soil is poor in spite of frequent overfows. The McCully home, built of cypress wea- ther boards is still standing. In front is a little square portico from which you enter once closed hall way. The door frame, with side lights and transom is still there, but door and glass frame are gone. The rooms are ceiled, but have never been painted nor papered. The mantels and doors are home made. The walls are high and the roof steep, but unlike most houses of that type, there are no attic rooms. The cistern was in the kitchen.
 Big Memphis was the name given |by the negroes to an old house on the east side of the St. Francis one half mile from the ferry landing. Long ago it was very pretentious residence of eight rooms with plas- tered walls, many large windows and splendidly built brick chimneys. Old time shrubbery grew in the yard and some gnarled apple trees and scrubby quince bushes showed an or chard had once fourished at the rear of the house. This farm is owned by Boyce and Kausler, but it IS known as the Winthrop place.
 Were those houses built by the pioneer settlers of our county? Who can give us the date of the building of the McCully house and the Win throp home?
 Where was the settlement west of the L'Anguille?
 Much of our early history lives only in the recollection of the sons and daughters of the makers of Lee County. We must soon em- body 1t or it will be entirely lost.
 We ask the aid of every reader of the Courier-Index.
