For the past few years certain Virginia farmers and stockmen have been bringing truck loads of pigs and shoats into this county and selling them in violation to the interstate livestock shipping laws. They have brought disease into the county and people are losing hogs at this time as a result of this practice. It is illegal to bring hogs into this county from another State without a certificate from a veterinarian accompanying them showing that they have been properly vaccinated against hog cholera. It is very dangerous for any one to buy these pigs, and when a man offers them for sale, he should be reported and prosecuted for the violation of the law. This is the only way to stop the practice.
