Another of those nuisances, a drove of “scrub” cattle from Texas, passed through our town last Tuesday evening. A prohibitory law in this case would result beneficially to our citizens and those of the State in general. These pests scatter disease and death among all good and valuable stock with which they come in contact. Missouri has refused to allow drovers to bring Texas cattle into her borders. Tennessee should do the same.
