Editor Times-Enterprise : I have learned from observation that fishing is not a profitable occupa tion for a two-horse farmer. There is no bargain between him and tho grass in the fields—that it will not grow while he fishes—that the grass will re spect. He may apply to Bill Bibb or Burt Madre for a warrant against the grnss for malicious mischief, hut nine times out of ten they decide in favor of the grass, and make the fish ing farmer pay the cost, unless he will send them a mess of fish. Tho mess of fish may make them put off the case for a month or two; hut when the far mer comes to wind up tho case, it al ways turns out the cost falls on him, and the grass is happy and grows right along as though nothing had happened—and tho farmer is inter viewed by Jim Kottmnn. v I have also observed that the two- horse farmer has very considerable business in town about three days in every week, and lest he may not get there in time he has early breakfast in the morning and hurries off, and gets there just about the lime the stoics open. Tho man he says lie wants to see, docs not come on . the streets till nine or ten o’clock. By this time the poor farmer’s patience is worn out, and the man lie wants to ice is moving about on tho streets at a speed which induces the belief that lie is on the way to a fire. The farmer says to himself, “1 won’t bother him to-day, as ho seems so busy, but I will come again to-morrow or next "day.” Then he. takes a glass or two of beer at Balfour’s, or something else, and gets home to late dinner. Calls his hired help to put his horse up and feed him, takes a nap, wakes up and says "the day is broke anyhow,' and I will walk about awhile, call up my hogs and see if any more of them have the cholera.” * All this is a sad thing for the far mer, but there is a merry side to it for the grass. The grass says to itself: "Tho farmer has gone to town—I will not he disturbed [to-day;" and in between the rows, and alongside the branch, there is a regular pic nic. The weeds, and the grass, and the hushes, get to gcthcc, and such a feast as they have, not even your facile pen can picture. The grass makes a speech, and says; "I am like a mill, which is no good while it stands still, therefore, 1 will continue to grow on.” The weed says: "I am the golden rod, soon to he the national flower and the emblem of American greatness.” Tho hush says: “I will spread myself like the green hay tree, and shade the ground.” Another thing I observe, is that when the farmer goes to work in real earnest lie goes away oil to the hack side of his plantation, instead of com mencing at the house and garden, where his wife and children can sco and enjoy the work he dues, and where they can sec and build their hopes and prospects for next year up on a pretty little flower garden, and a nice and beautiful garden of vege tables. If the poor and unfortunate little two-horse farmer could see and appro ciate, at its true worth, the thrill of joy and happiness which runs through every fibre of his over worked wife’s heart, aiul thc smile of happiness ex pressed in every leuture of the chil drens’ faces, when he says or does something for their comfort and pleasure, he would surely lm more particular ns to his conduct. More hereafter. Experience. Mr. J. L. Finn is improving his handsome llowcr yard oil Smith Ave nue, by adding a pretty fountain. Mrs. .Finn’s arrangement and collcc tion of flowers are greatly admired, and add much to the attractiou of that street. C'layt Dickinson's latest pet is a humming bird. These birds seem to he very easily tamed. There are several parties in the city who have them iu cages. Of Interest to Sportsmen. Ed. Times-Enterprise: Can quail, turkeys and doer be shot October ist without violating the game laws ? Many think they can, while others say the season opens Oct. 15th. SUIISCRIBF.R. In reply to the above, we give a synopsis of the original act, with all amendments to date, for the protection of game in Thomas county. The act was passed Feb. 28, 1876. Under this act it was unlawful to kill deer be tween Sept, ist and Feb. ist; turkeys or partridges between March ist and Oct. 15th. This act was amended Feb. 13th, 1877, changing the period ot protection of deer between the rst of Oct. and ist of March; turkeys and partridges between April ist and Oct. ist; since which there has been no change as to time. The act was amended Oct. and, 1889, by making possession of any of the game,protect ed in the original act during the close of season,prima facia evidence ofguilt, and by making it unlawful to- take from the nests or destroy the eggs ot turkeys or partridges. The last amend ment was passed Sept. 30, 1881, mak ing unlawful the killing of more than twenty-five quails in one day by one person. We think that the difference of opinion as to correct dates of open and close seasons, resulted from the fact that the amendment of Feb. 13U1, 1877, changing the dates in the origi nal act had never been indexed. It can, however, be ioencl in the acts of the general assembly of that year, pp. 321. Capt. Joe Dcsvcrgcs, the well known and popular conductor of the Bainbridge division, S. F. & W. Ry., was in the city for a short time yes terday. Capt. Cassady’s gin house was in sured in the Hibernia Insurance,com pany, of New Orleans, La., through their agents, Hanscll & Merrill. Moral: It alwajs pays to insure Voters on the “fence” or “110-fence” question will remember that the law- docs not go into effect, it “no fence” carries, until next March. This gives ample lime for the change. Jack Curtright wants to know why "Experience” didn’t sco his shoo sign, yesterday. He thinks “Experience” goes Imrefootcd. O, no, Jack, Expe rience wears a no 0-2 horse|farm shoe. Mrs. W. L. Gordon, Principal of the Connecticut Industrial School, has returned from the North, where she has been spending the vacation. Every one will bo pleased to welcome Mrs, Gordon back to Thonmsville again. Considerable interest was shown yesterday in tho identity of "Experi ence.” It is evident that he lias “been there,” “knows how it is him self.” His “observations” in to day’s paper will he read with interest, as well as with profit. The election for "fence" or "no Icncc,” south of the railroad, conics on the 1st Saturday in December. Very few arc “on the fence ’-—everybody is on one side or the other. Most of the voters arc on the "no Icncc” side. Now and then a "fence'’ man climbs over on the right side. Tom, Alias George Hardy, who was brought here from Boston,’ a few days ago charged with larccry from the house, was before Judge Mitchell yes terday to be tried, but after an iuves tigation of the case lie was turned over to the Superior court charged 1 with burglary. The soliciting committee for sub scriptions to the picnic and barbecue of the Stock Breeders’ Association, will call on the citizens of Thomas- villc next Monday for their contrihu lions.

Bass, Chairman. J. S. Montgomery, Secretary. Gin Houso Burned. We regret to learn that the gin house of Capt. A. A. Cassady was de stroyed by fire 011 Wednesday after noon. The gin was running at the time. It is supposed to have caught from a match. Some five or six hales of cotton—belonging to other parties and a large quantity of cotton seed belonging to Capt. Cassady, was con- umed. There was 8500 insur ance on the gin house and machinery. Our readers will not fail to notice the new advertisement of the Messrs. Stcycrman. These gentleman arc carrying a magnificent line of goods. And they are selling them. As an evidence of this, we may mention the fact that Mr. Louis Stcyerman is now in New York, buying a second stock ot goods.
