The Dawson Journal says: AVe
were pleased to meet the President,
Secretary and Treasurer of Ihe above
Association in our city on last Satur
day. They were here to witness the
fair, and “talk up” their fair which
comes olf on the 21st and 22nd inst.
They were almost as wet as “drown
ed rats” when they arrived, having
ridden from Albany to Dawson
through a heavy rain. The display
at our fair, owing to the inclemency
of the weather, of course, was small,
but our visiting friends compliment
ed Terrell county in the highest
terms. They confessed astonishment
at the tine display of farm products
and good farm stock. They are work
ing in earnest for the first spring fair
of their Association, assisted by all the
good citizens of Dougherty, and many
from other counties. AVe have no
doubt but that this fair will he one of
the best that has ever been held in
the state—the managers Bre working
in a way to make it so. AVe adviso
all our people who can do so to at
tend. It is to ttieir interest to do so.
These big fairs will attract attention
to our section and create a demand
for our idle land and our farm pro
ducts. An enterprise of this kind suc
cessfully conducted at Albany will
benefit our county almost as much as
it will their own. Good premiums
are offered, and Terrell county must
bear off some of them.

The opening of the Spring Fair of
tho Southwest Georgia Industrial As
sociation, at Albany, on the 21st and
22nd of the present month will afford
the citizens of North Georgia an op
portunity to inspect the products of
one of the most thrifty, progressive
aud fertile sections of Georgia. The
indications are that this, the first fair
of the Association, will be a conspic
uous success, not only as an exhibi
tion of the industrial and agricultur
al possibilities of Southwest Georgia,
but as a means of bringing a people
together and inciting among them
that kindly but energetic spirit of
competition which always accompa
nics real progress. Among the at
tractions of the fair will be a prize
drill between military companies for
two hundred dollars, and a boat race
on tlic river.—Atlanta Constitution.

The Albany Fair.
AVe call especial attention to the ad
vertisement of the Albany Fair. Our
limited space forbids as lengthy a no
tice as we would like to give this
week, but we must say that this Fair
promises to be all that its friends and
the public generally could desire.—
The management has left nothing un
done that could in the least interest
or amuse visitors, and the premiums
arc so very liberal as to insure lively
competition. The Fair unmistakably
going to be a big thing and we ad'-
vise all of our readers who possil'
can to attend.—Thomasvillc Time*.
Some Thoughts for Farmers.
Editors News Feeling a deep in
terest in the general welfare aud pros
perity of the farmers, have sought for
items of interest in their behalf. I
propose now (with your approval) to
offer one. It appearing to me a good
plan, and within the reach of all
classes of farmers regardless of fi
nances.
Having gathered this idea from an
aged, experienced and practical farm
er, thought it worthy of public men
tion, from its source, as well the two
suggestive points to be gained by
adoption. First tending to improve
ment of the cattle, and second the ad
vantage of making and collecting ma
nure on a cheap plan. There being
more small grain in the country than
at any time Bince the war, the query
arose, how best to utilize the straw ?
He says after the grain has been
threshed out (and greatly prefers to
have this done with all of it) make
two square rail pens, with rail floor
ings, placing the two 8 feet apart
Build each to 4 or 4)4 feet high. Then
connect the two by introduction of
rail flooring for a third pen, on top of
the two formed. Proceed now to
build and fill the 3 pens with straw
until as high as you want; then shape
to a cone and cap to turn off water, or
cover witli boards if you havo • them,
You perceive in the construction of
the pens an opening of 8 feet by 4 or
4)4 feet high has been left between
the two original ones. This is intend
ed for the cattle to go in and shelter
themselves from the rain and cold
winds of winter. The idea is to keep
this straw nntil the gleaning of the
fields by the cattle.
AVhile doing this they will seek
this shelter on rainy or cold windy
days. They can easily feed themselves
by pulling tho straw from the two
sides and above head. The weight
of straw above will naturally sink
and fill the place of that taken out be
low. Hence no further attention is
requisite for feeding.
Your straw by this adoption be
comes a great support to the catlle;
ami converted into goauno or some
thing like it, which is also collected
by the frequenting of the cattle for a
bedding place at night. AVhen the
straw has been eaten entirely out re
move your rails and your bed of ma
nure is of easy access for distribution.
Remember to have the opening east
and west. You can add as many pens
joined to the first one as you may have
straw to till and cattlo to shelter. If
the cattle to be sheltered exceeds the
quantity of straw' additional shelter
may be added by simply placing 3
feet boards in the cracks on south
side of your pens. This arrangement
placed in the field where the grain
was grown, saves hauling to stock
ades or barns in the busy season of
the year; and again in the beginning
of a new- crop in shape of manure
requiring only to be distributed from
where deposited.

cross match, a bay and a sorrel, pride
makes it endurable
We learn from the Atlanta Consti-
tutiton that. Mr. T. G. Elswald, of that
city, has determined to go into sheep
husbandry upon a large scale, and has
already purchased nearly one thous
and sheep. He wantsi it is said,
about two thousand more aud is rap
idly securing them. Says that paper:
AVe arc not advised as’ to where he
will locate his farm, but suppose he
will not go far from Atlanta. If he
wants a big success he has only to buy
a few of Mr. Richard Peters’ fine me-
rinocs, and breed up to that basis.—
There is no use in raising sheep for
a pound and a half of wool when
six or eight pounds can be had to the
sheep within a few years.” The sub
ject of sheep husbandry is rapidlv at
tracting attention in the State. In al
most every county we notice that
new ranches are being established.—
There is no business that provides so
much for the farmer and for the State
as this, and we rejoice to see it on the
increase.
A writer in the New A’ork Bulletin
pays a high tribute to onr State as
follows: “There arc few of the older
commonwealths of the Union that
have at this moment greater elements
of material wealth than Georgia, the
Empire State of the South. Rich in
agncultural, manufacturing and min
eral wealth, it but needs a larger ap
plication of capital and iudusty to
plnco its resources in a position to
make generous returns to both. Its la
bor system has fully recovered from
the derangement incident to the civil
war, and now, under the fostering in
fluences of a stable and economical
government, manufacturing and oth
er industries have taken n fresh start
Alluding to the Press Convention
in that city, the Gainesville Southron
properly remarks: “We hope our
brethren of the press who will visit
us this week will have a nice time,
aud return lo their homes invigorated
in body mid mi ml to r so me with
now life and energy the patriotic task
of building up the great State at large
and their own localities particularly.
This they do more than any class in
the world, and for less pay, and all
people who have comprehensive and
reflective minds know it. Have a
good time, gentleman, while you are
free for one week out of fifty-two in
a year."
".Ilist one.-’ hr murmured, involun
tarily drawing close lo the Ineiotis
lips that smiled upon him with such
ravishing bewileliinguess, while his
ow n quivered in :m expectant antici
pation. "So I notice.’' replies she,
coolly glancing at tlic dock, "and
time for you to turn up vourcoat col
lar and -lint tin: street door from the
outside." III. went—Danbury New*.
Sum marry for love without a cent
in their pocket nor a friend in the
world nor a drop of pedigree. This
looks desperate, but it iz the strength
of the game.
Sum marry bekauze they think
wimmin will be scarce next year, and
live to wonder how the crop holds
out.
Sum marry to get rid of themselves,
and discover that the game was one
that two could play at, and neither
win.
Sum marry the second time to get
even and find it a gambling game, the
more thev put down the less they take
up.
Sum marry to he happy, and not
finding it, wonder where all the hap
piness goes to when it dies.
Sum marry, they can’t tell why, and
live, they can’t tell how.
Almost everybody gets married,
and it is a good joke.
Sum marry in haste, aud then sit
down aud think it caresullv over.
Sum think it carefully fust, and
then set down aud marry.
Both ways are right, if they hit the
mark.
Sum marry rakes to convert them
This is a little risky,-and takes a smart
missionary to do it.
Sum marry coquetts.. This is like
buying a poor man, heavily mort
gaged. and working the balance «v
y tire days to clear oph the mortgages.
But, after all, married life iz full as
certain as the dry goods bizzincss.
No man kail swear exactly whar he
will fetch up when ho touches calico.
Kuo man kan tell list what calico
has made up its mind tew do next.
Calico don’t know even herself.
Dry goods ov all kinds iz tlic
child ov ciministansis.
Tlie man who stands oil tlie bank
shivering, and ilassent, is more apt to
ketch cold than him who pitches hi/
lied just into the river.
If enny body asks von will vou got
married (if it needs be), tell linn you
don’t recollekt.
Marriage is a safe way tew gam
ble—if yti win, yu win a pile, and If
