1898 Concerns Over the Stock Law in Lincoln Parish

From the Farmerville "Gazette"; issue of Wednesday, 16 March 1898, page 3

   Union parish farmers in the 9th ward are worried over the stock law in the 5th 
ward of Lincoln. The farmers of the latter section are tearing down fences around 
their farms in observance of the no-fence law which went into operation there a 
few weeks ago. This necessitates their neighbors in Union to fence in both their 
crops and their stock. A stock law is a good thing, but it sould be made a general 
state law and not become effective under a year after its passage, in order to 
enable people to prepare for the change.
