CEDARTOWN RECORD. W, S, D. WIKLE & 00,, Proprietors, CEDARTOWN, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1875. VOLUME 1. NUMBER 39. TIMELY TOPICS. Mr. Hai.r, of Now York, who hits cot boon able to attend the sitting* of the honso for tbo past four weeks on Account of illness, has written Mr. Crittenden, of Missouri, expressing his regret that his illness lmd prevented him from taking any part in correcting tho injustice which was dono to Crown, of Kentucky, in the resolution of oou- sure moved by himself and ndoptod by the house in tho earlier part of tho ses sion. He repeats his oooviotion that bo far as tho resolution imputed to Brown any intention of prevarication or double dealing in his response to the speaker, himself and a majority of the house had been misled, and hnd dono injus tice to Brown. lie adds: "A careful examination of tho record siuce, quali- fying'it by my own distinct recollootion, satisfies mo that I did wrong to Brown in imputing this intuit to him. aud that there was nothing in his r< spouse to the speaker inconsistent with good faith or integrity of an upright and honorable raau. I shall ufver hositato to express freely the conviction that I bavo above expressed to you, and if anything con tained in this lettor within your judg ment be of Rfrvico to Mr. Brown, 1 beg you to consider tho lettor entirely at your service, for any use whatever that you or other friends of *Mr. Brown may think proper to inako of it.” Tin: Chicago Tribune would not be surprised if the first test ease on the constitutionality of tho civil rights bill should come from tho north, assigning as its roosoa that while tho number of pooplo in tho north who now deny any of tho political rights of tho uegro is very small; the number of those who entertain social prt jndiors is still very large. Tho practice of excluding ne groes from tbo public dining-rooms of first-clnss hotels aud the choice seats in first-class theatres and operas is oh gen eral in tho north ns in tho south, and a test case is »s likely to go to the supremo court on ono of these points fr. in Chicago, Boston or New York, ns it is from Now Orleans, Louisville or Rich* In twenty-one counties in Georgia, voryoarefnl agricultural statistics were collected last year, in complinneo with a stato law. In thoso counties the whites bail 85,G97 aheap; tho mgroes barely 205. They owned 4,211 dogs, or about twenty times as many dogs as slioep to supply them with wool for clothing and mutton. It in difficult to discover any way in which sonthrtn agrioultuio may prosper while a savage taste for dogs and guns are so powerful, cot only with persons of co'or, but with some millions of the whito race. In the twenfy-one, the counties referred to, the whites keep seventee n thousand six hundred and ninety-seven dogs.

Sheep are undervalued by Iho mass land-holders as a means of keeping up tho fertility of tlio soil and putting money iuto tho pockets of farmers. The moment ono begins to talk of siieep husbandry, the listener or reader begins to look for wool quotations, as if wool was all that yields profit from sheep. One might as well look for wheat quotations alone when there is talk about Iho profit of farming. Sheep on a farm yield both wool and mutton. They multiply with great rapidity. Tlioy aro tho best of form tcav.ngtrs, “cleaning a field” ns no other class of animals will. They givo hack to the farm more in proportion to what they take from it than any other animal, and distribute it hotter with a view to tho futnro fertility of the soil, Provo this V There is uo need of proof to thoso who have kent sheep, and know their habits and the profits they yield. To prove it to thoso who havo not the experience, it is noccssory they should try the experiment or accept tho testimony of an experienced shephord. But the livo stock of a farm should not, necessarily, bo_ sheep, exclusively. Cattle, horses, swine, have their re spective places in the farm economy. How many of ouch to keep is a tinet- tic n that locality, character of markots, adaptation of soil, predisposition, tasto and skill of tho hnsbaudmnn must de cide. But one thing ought not to be forgotten, that the more stook a man keeps on his farm the mor* gruss and it ought to, and, if properly managed, it will grow. Tho rutes of increase will correspond with the business tact, technical aud practical knowledge, end skill of the bUBbiiucUoan,—Now York World.
