According to previous notice the citizens of this county assembled in convention at this place on last Monday, for the purpose of taking some action in regard to important political events that have and are transpiring. By eleven o’clock a.m. at least one thousand persons had arrived in town, and steps were immediately taken to have the masses assemble at some convenient spot where the business which was to brought before them could be transacted. The selection made was the court room, but it was soon ascertained that it was inadequate to accommodate the vast assembly, and a suggestion made by some one, that “we move into the street” was acted upon. Who’s going to speak?” was eagerly asked on all hands, and as hurriedly answered, “I don’t know!”
The speakers who had been invited to be present, having failed, from causes best known to themselves, to attend. Soon Maj. J. H. BILLS ascended the platform in the rear of the old stand so long occupied by him as a merchant, and moved that Hon. J. L. ROSSON, of Pocahontas, be called to the Chair. The motion was promptly seconded, and as promptly put and unanimously carried. Captain ROSSON then appeared on the platform, and in his peculiar and forcible style, addressed the Convention as follows:
Fellow Citizens of Hardeman county, and gentlemen of the Convention……

During the past week a great many cows and oxen have died in this vicinity, especially along the waters of Spring Creek, from a disease known as the murrain. In view of the fact that the disease still continues to afflict the cattle, we will repeat what was told to us by an old Texan stock raiser – it being the remedy used by him with beneficial results. As soon as symptoms of murrain appear, procure a tub or trough, and put into it about two gallons of warm water, to which add one-half pound of salt and one quart of wheat-bran; stir well, and give it to the afflicted animal. Repeat the same, as often as the animal will partake of it, or until all symptoms of the disease have disappeared. In case the preparation is refused, suffer the animal to have no water, and thirst will compel it to drink of the mixture. One thing is sure, the remedy of the old ranchero can do no harm, and it may do some good.
