Some Important Points About the Health Laws.

Editor REumsLiCAN.—I wish torsay a word to our people concerning a part of the health law of our State, which seems io be not-well understood. The heated term is upon us, and-it becomes iis-ns citizens..and sanitarians tohse but to maintaiwthe heaithfulness of our county and prevent epidemics of disease, watch _ m^'fiihmpsTrwyat-tlris..season, especially, by indifference and carelessness. On several occasions when riding through the country I have observed dead hogs, dogs Sffil CthW" dead- MJte casses cast upon the roadside to decay up.buried. Such things are anything but creditable to our people, are dangerous to health and can not further be allowed unpunished. Do our people not know that putting or leaving any dead animal, however small or large, on the public highway or anywhere else is a violation of State law? •It is made my duty to punish such violation, and after having called attention to the matter in this way, I shall be obliged to prosecute any persons who disregard the law. Those who wish to know what the law is fully on the subject, I refer to Sees. 2068 and 2072 of Revised Statutes of 1881. Any person knowing, at any time, of any dead carcass not buried, will please report tb me. . F. P. Bitters, Sect. Co. Health Board.
