ALAMO. GEORGIA. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY, 6, 1914
Hogs and Cows Must Go
Is Opinion of Council.
At a meeting of the town council on
last Monday evening, it was decided to
take up the question of "stock law”
for the town es Alamo, but owing to
the fact that the full board was not
present, it was decided advisable to
postpone the question until an e-xpree
sian can be had from eaah member of
the board, and on next (Monday even
ing it is desired that every member of
the board be present and vote as
their conscience dictate on this import
ant questioa.
It is understood, with the exception
of one es the members of the board,
they are unanimously in favor of mov
ing the stock off the streets. To say
the least of it, it sounds good that there
is a brobability of the streets bring
cleared of the hogs, cows and sheep.
There is nothing the opposition can
offer in defense of the stock roaming
the streets. The streets are not a de
sirable range fer them. Those that
have them should have a place to keep
them or begin to make prepan -
tions for them. If tee ordinance does
not go into effect now it is only a
question of a short dire when it will,
and those owning stock will be caught
Woodmen Have Big
Rally and Supper.
On last Tuesday evening the Alamo
Camp Woodmen of the World gave a
banquet at the Elkins hotel, preceded
by a rally at the hall.
Quite a number attended and all had
a good time. The principal feature ol
the evening’s program was an addres*
by Mayor Tomlinson, followed by an
address by Judge Win. B. Kent, who
in his pleasant way, spoke of the many
admirable features of woodcraft.
At the coaclusion of the program the
crowd was invited down to the hotel
where a delightful oyster stew awaited
them.
Every one went home feeling that
they had learned something of the
great order.

in the same predicament, and those
who are able to pasture them will do
so and those that are not able will
have to make other arrangements, and
the result will be as if it should be put
in force at this time. At no time in
the future will the stock law for the
town of Alamo receive the endorse
ment of all her people. To put stock
law into effect means that some will be
inconvenienced—will be put to expense
that they otherwise wouid not have.
It is nature to shun expense, but when
the fact is taken into consideration tbat
the health of the town is endangered
by having the hogs alone roam our
streets. They are constantly dying of
cholera and other diseases on the
stress, under houses and decaying con
taminates the air that we breathe with
poison, and are otherwise unsanitary.
There is nothing more detestibie to
the person driving to town, bringing
with him feed fer his horse and as
soon as he turns hts back to have his
buggy ransacked by a mischievous cow
or hog and the horse do without din
ner. Thio is some of the things that
have actually happened, and would be
avoided if our council think it advisable
to put this law into effect.
