1 J. M. Higginbotham reports
!this week the loss of two hogs
from cholera oh his farm four
j miles west of town. As <|uickly
| as he discovered the trouble
with the animals Mr. Higgin-
botham called up Wm. T. Chris-
man at Ft. Worth, state veter-
inarian, and had him to visit the
farm at once for ah investiga-
tion and to assist in the taking
of such measures as would pre-
vent spread of this disease
which is proving so fatal in
many sections and w hich is stat-
ed to be the most contagious as
well as the most dangerous of all
diseases to which hogs are sub-
ject. Mr. Higginbotham is most
positive that he brought the dis-
ease to his animals through the
purchase of some hogs in an-
other part of the county a short
time ago and besides the danget
to all other swine in this locality

which he inclosed his personal
check for $50 as a token of his
appreciation that she is the
