“Experience” Argues the No-Fence Ques
tion-Some Practical and Per
tinent Suggestions.
Mr. Editor:
I see by your paper that there is to
be an election on the fence question
before long, in the lower part of this
county, I am glad to know it, for
that is a good part of the county, and
if properly settled and worked, would,
as the poet says, “bud and blossom as
tho rose.”
For several yeai s there has been a
big fuss in Ireland about the few own
ing the land, and the many, as ten
ants, are riotous and rebellious, and
breeding a disturbance. Gladstone,
Parnell, and other apologists, account
for it in their way, hut if I was to ex
press au opinion upon the real cause
of the trouble, 1 would say it was ab
senteeism, or, as we would express it
here, the freeholders and planters
have left their farms aud moved to
town.
When the landowners quit their
farms and let out one field to Dick,
another to C:esar, and still another to
Sambo, with no head to manage for
them, and keep them under proper re
straint and discipline, they^ nre like a
flock of sheep without a bell-iycther.
The wolves and dogs soon come along
and devour not only the flock, hut
ruin the pastures. This is quite a
calamity, but it fits the best part of
our county,
Quite a number of Georgia farmers
went out west recently on an inspec
tion tour, and I was particularly
pleased with the letters they wrote
back, especially those written by Tom
Blnckshear. He talks of wheat, corn,
stock, blucgrass, vineyards, wines,
horses, and cattle, in a manner that
makes a two horse farmer's mouth
water. I wonder if those Western
farmers, like the Georgia farmers, arc
required to fence in their farms, or
are they only required to fence in
their stock?
A fow years ago I was AVcst myself,
and made particular inquiry upon
this point. A* J rode along on the
highway anil the railroad, the great
fields of corn came right up to tho
road, aud you could almost touch,
with your hands put out of the car
window, the blades of the growing
crop. Every farmer I talked to, said:
•‘Our laws do not require us to fence
in our crops, hut to fence in our cat
tle.” And, said they, “if wc were re
quired to fence iu our crops instead of
fencing in our stock, wo could not live
in this country, for we have no rail
timber, aud scarely enough for fire
wood.”
Is uot that a pretty fair description
of the southern part of our county? ff
tho farmers there were only required
to fence in their stock, would they not
have almost au Eden, instead of old
worn out, thrown away sedge grass
fields, fit for neither man or beast?
You *uay go to Europe, the north
ern and wostern parts of tho United
States, and everywhere else where
civilization, education, religion and
social refinement prevails, and you
will find that the old barbaric idea
that a land-owner must fence iu his
laud to prevent trespass by his neigh
bors’ stock, has beet: abandoned, and
tho just and wholesome idea prevails
that a farmer’s crop is sacred, and
that stock must he fenced iu instead
of fenced out.
Can you wonder then, that the real,
genuine, democratic farmers of the
extreme west, where cyclones, bliz
zards, grasshoppers and other pests of
like character, are as common as the
seasons of the year, arc afraid to come
.South and cast in their lot with us?
In my noxt, I will make a plea for
the white children, who, in my opin
ion, will bo greatly benefitted by a no-
fence law iu Thomas county. *
Experience.
The appointment of Col, J.O. Wad
dell, of Ccdartown, to succeed Col.
Ridding in the agricultural depart
ment in Atlanta, gives very general
satisfaction. Col. Waddell is a college
mate of Judge wf J). Mitchell, of
Thomas, and is held in high esteem
by the judge, as by every one that
knows him.
Special Premiums.
Wc are authorized to offer the fol
lowing special premiums, at the
Stock Breeder’s Fair, to.be held on
the 15th of November: By Mr. T.
('. Mitchell: For the best horse or
colt, by Revoke, regardless of ngc,
$25.00. By Mr. S. L. Hayes: For
the best horse, or colt, by Transfer,
regardless of age, S-5.00.
The dispatches on Sunday contain
ed quite a hatch of new postmasters,
among them tho name of Mr. Joseph
P. Smith, vice Capt. II. M. Sapp,
resigned. Mr. Smith was the recipi
ent of numerous congratulations on
his appointment. If Mr. Harrison’s
other appointments in Georgia arc
equally good, there will be little
cause for compjaint. Mr. Smith’s
appointment gives very general satis
faction among both democrats and
republicans.
Mr. L. P. Roberts aud wife, who
have been spending the latter part of
the summer in New England, return
ed on Sunday, and are again occupy
ing Cambridge Manor. Mr. Roberts
says the outlook for a good tourists
business this winter iu Thomasville,
is very flattering. The friends of Mr.
and Mrs. Roberts arc pleased to see
them here again.
Hon. Dan AV. Rountree, of Quit-
man was at the Stuart Sunday.

Southern Cotton Oil Company, is

Have just returned IWm the north.
Glad to get back, too. Thomasville
really feels like home, and there’s no
place like that. But the goods! they
arecomiug; be here next weel* A
big stock '! Well, no. Mine is not
the largest- The others have that
size, but it is large enough, and still
better, all personally selected, choice
goods fVom the cream of New York
and Baltimore markets. They are
the latest styles, bought low down,and
will be sold the same. This means
that I want to do a good share of the
millinery trade this Beason. It is said
to be impossible to pleoso everybody ;
maybo so; but there’s nothing like
trying, and if I gel the chance the
efiort will not be wanting. Think
over the matter, and decide if it is not
well to give at least a share of your
trade to one who is anxious for it,and
will do her best to please.
