This is one of the things that will certainly pay in every way. Little larniB near town are getting in great demand. Property ot that class is very valuable, and will never he worth less than now. Sugarcane is coming in plentifully, Its juice is among the healthiest things that can he taken into the stomach. Children and dyspeptics should keep a supply on hand.

Cone has killed Carter. Brine the coroner.’’ G. W. Hinson. The parties have been in trouble and litigation lor many years. The trouble is doubtless the outcome of the tragedy. The killing occurred four or five miles from Cairo. Sheriff Hurst sent for Coroner Johnson and an inquest will he held this morning. The Contract Awarded. A committee of ladies have been at work some time raising money for the purpose of buying a carpet for the new Presbyterian church. After getting bids from various houses and sources, the contract has been awarded to Messrs. I. Levy & Co., to furnish, make up and put down the carpet, they being the lowest bidders, as the following correspondence will show: Missus. 1. I.kvy & Co.: Tilt' Ladies ofilie Auxiliary Society of the Presbyterian church tender their sincere thanks for the magnanimity of your propo sition. to fiirnUh the carpet at such a re duced price. Respectfully,J Miss Etta Ri:ii>, Mas. Jamks Watt, Miss Hattie Alexaxdeii, Miis. S. A. Jonks. *In this connection we may mention, also, the fact that Messrs. I. Levy & Co. have been awarded the contract to furnish the Gulf House. There was sharp competition over this con tract, as it was quite au extensive one, and the fact that it was awarded to Messrs. Levy & Co., attests the fact that they arc prepared and able to compete with the largest houses for filling this and similar contracts. Mrs. J. L.

Grissman, ol Louisville, Ky.. arrived Sunday, and expects to spend some time among us for his health. He is at the Whiddon. Mr. Grissman will please consider himself at home. Two public spirited gentlemen, Mr. T. C. Mitchell and Mr. Samuel L. Hayes, offer two special premiums for the Btock Breeders’ fair. '1 liese gen tlemen are setting an example we trust others will follow. The Connecticut Industrial School opened this morning with a good at- tfliulanec. • No colored school iu the South, of this grade, is better equipped or is doing more to teacli and elevate colored girls aud boys. Mrs. Gordon is engaged iu a noble work, aud she has the sympathy and moral support of all classes qf our citizens in her ef forts to teach and make bettor citizens out of the rising generation of colored youths. Who will lie the next to offer a special premium for the Stock Breed ers Fair ? The Baptist flock were scattered on Sunday, there being no services iu their church. They worshipped at the other churches, all of which were open. Work is progressing rapidly on tho new brick carriage repository, adjoin ing the cotton warehouse, on Jackson street. “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. Mr. J. A. Ousley, reprcseifting the Southern Cotton Oil Company, is registered at tho Stuart. Mrs. John Spair went down to Quitman Sunday to visit Iter daugh ter. * Mr. Will Smith, one of our clever liverymen, lost a fine horse last night. Death was caused from too much green corn. This should be a warning to all who feed new corn to their stock. The monthly meeting of the Gen eral Benevolent Society will be held at the public library on Wednesday after noon, Oct. end, at 4:30.
