Erected First Brick
In the year 1890, Mr. Beckum 
erected the first brick building to 
be constructed in this city. It is 
the building now occupied by the 
Harrison Hardware Company. It 
was in this building that the first 
bank in the city was located.

we give some thought to tubercu­

■ au d ios* Disease
This insidious disease is of great 
importance to the dairy cattle 
owner as well as the milk con­
sumers. In some sections o f this 
country, its ravages in the dairy 
herds result in tremendous finan­
cial losses each year. Also, the 
use o f the milk from a diseased 
row is a great menace to the pub­
lic, because a large percentage of 
Tuberculosis in the human family 
comes from the consumption of 
dairy products from Tuberculosis 
cows.

ditions to a great extent guard 
against this disease, but with the

that every cow supplying milk for 
human food, be tested with tuber­
culin and found free from Tuber­
culosis, ss now done by most rttia* 
of the United States It would be
