The balance of the evening was spent in social intercourse. There is a great deal of complaint about some neighbors turning o"4 their stock and allowing them to roam on the fields of others. This complaint comes from our immediate neighborhood and also some three mile8 around. Those who allow their stock to roam at large to the injury of their neighbors should have more consideration for their interest and feelings of law abiding people and if they continue in this practice they must gracefully abide the consequences.
