Dear Sir: In the year 191-1 when lo t it p,(oi)l: ,'f this (Walthall " Cou:.ty Mi.;.ý.,) firVa beg-n to V agitate tick erauication it occurred to me that it w:is a matter des tined to benefit, if banefit at all, p. the few l:rge cattle owners of the cunty, a ad to force tie little fellow 1, ell his few cattle at a sacrifio ;etcd I wanut to tell you IC went against the proposition l lr all I wa-: worth, talked to my neighb is and fIvInds any and everywhere I met them and had an oppirtlunity. When the eleo. - tion came on 1 went to the polls 50 early and voted :igainat it and thr worked hard to secure its de- th( feat. evo The measure was carried by, of perhaps', 100 majority in this co county. After a time the board ha of supirvisors b:eg..n to build the vats in the county and at several en meetings of the i, ar,i thereai "' r th, ;)'oile all ov'r the cnyity petitioned Lthe hbard and did eve ;, kn tin !he)y possib)ly c uld, in lh( way o; protest agdain:.t further thi proceedurc ,n the part ')o the ll board mut under the law, as they to claimed, they were powerless to ca give u- reli f. 'rThi, we ,wore ly w.' . uld niot dip our cattie. I ca eve ;wanllted to l, V ;) m Lm v " . \ in my sec;tion )f the countlry aid tu w\vul I have but I was afraid of y( the I ederal autlhoriK. to !\hen ut, ti e ,:.rivld ',r us n to dip our cule I reluctantly ti drove my cattle to the vat but b while enroute, I want to say, 1 did r a * .1y lit r'e ,i i tar dowli ai there :and ha;:' .ly treated hima civil. .ly bratuer.; were therey and if things had gone the least wrong, Ibusiness might have e picked up. The Inspector seem-t ed to utnuerstaiiid tills and did mit , cross us and we finally dipped I our .attle. In or .,r that I might satisfy myself, in the next few days I examined .u, cattle and found thiem absolutely free of ticks; then 1 beg..ii to keep a close watch over tilem tind 1 no tmlc.l a s,' ,yV iru ,rove:nent. They bean t:) thrive ant I my nfnl bef 'n t'i i ,ani o e.

Sometimes we run across a person who always has a wail be. cause his neighbors have plenty i and he has nothing. And if we could just follow them to the end of their careers we would pr: ,a bly find the neighbors cont;ruwing , in the enjov.ment of pleinty whi!:) the wailer drifts along with his I accumulation of nothing. And then if we cared to dig down and l exhume the cause we would doubtless find the neighbors working and impr',ving their op portunities while nhe wailer care lessly allows his to flit by.
