During the past week 176 cows have been tested in this county by Dr. William M. Fancher, state veterinarian, for tuberculosis. Of this number one cow belonging to Mr. G.B. Stallings of Smithfield, Route 2, was found to be affected. The cow was six years old and seemed to be in good health.
Dr. Fancher states that all the cows belonging to the following milk dealers who sell milk here have been tested and found free of tuberculosis: Messrs. P.B. Stevens, W.H. Stevens, J.P. Parkers, J.A. Myatt and Z.B. Talton.
Dr. Fancher asks every one who lives within the city limits who has a cow that has not been tested to call him at the home of Mr. E.B. Dixon or at the Capitol Café.
Up to this date 453 cows have been tested in this county.
