A large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of the county, who are interested in the question of “fence or no fonce,” assembled at the court hpuse Saturday. On motion, Cap. R. P. Doss was called to the chair, and C. H. Wil liams requested to act os secretary. Chairman Doss called the meeting to order and explained the object, fol lowed by Mr. John I. Parker, in a few remarks, who suggested that the meeting hear from Judge Alexander, •who hnd investigated the matter. Judge Alexander, upon invita tion of the meeting, made a very in teresting and instructive address on the subject, heartily favoring the law, although suggesting some changes and advantages to bo derived by certain alterations in the hounds, as now laid down in the law. In the course of his remarks, he took'occasion to refer to his visit to the western and northern states; the prosperity of that section, and attrib uted it to the vast saving by means of not having to fence the land. Land there was worth from 840 to 800 an aero, aud all a farmer had to do was to build his house aud go to plowing. Ho alluded to the cost of fencing and had referred to our county tax books and obtained the following figures: There were in -Thomas county 1600 farms, each farm averaging 100 acres, with an outsido fence, at 400 rails to the hundred ‘ yards, $112 at 81 a hundred. If you divide the farm into two fields it will cost 856 extra, making 8168. If you di vide it into four fields of 26 aires each, it will cost 8224. This, for the 1500 farms, will make a total cost of fencing for Thomas county of 8336, 0Q0, being that much dead capital, which necessitated an annual outlay pf 10 per cent, if 833,600 for keeping up the fences yearly. All this a worse than total and absolute loss. (Besides this may be considered the necessary setting aside of the woods land, for the purpose of growing timber for rail purposes, which may be safely estimated at 8§00,000, being in cap ital that can only be utilized for the purpose of rail timber, and that ought to be opened up for cultivation and bring a revenuo from rents.) The judge mode a good practical speech, and wound up by reading the article (heretofore published) by John I. Par ker, on the subject. Leon Neal made a few remarks,and called on Judge Hopkins, who re sponded in a short, practical speech, in which he stated that he was heart! ly in favor of the law, and cited tbe fact that in all states and counties which had tried the law, not one had ever made a change,and it had always been found so valuable that the longer the operation of the law was in force the greater benefits were perceptible. He alluded to the operation of the law on tenants, and showed the ad vantages it would be to that class. What benefitted the landlord natur ally benefitted the tenant. Landlords would provide pasturage for their ten ants and be enabled to provide better accommodations for their renters, at more reasonable rates. At the conclusion of the remarks of Judge Hopkins, Mr. John I. Parker suggested that if any gentleman pres- ent'had views contrary to those ex pressed by the speakers, he be heard, and the chairman invited speakers. Mr. Cox arose, but said be did not come under the head of those opposed to the law, altogether; he believed the law should apply to the whole county and not discriminate against any one. Mr. Kenneth McLean, being called for, made a stirring speech in favor of the adoption of the no-fence law, showing in a plain, practical manner the many advantages and the justice of the measure. His remarks were well received and had a good effect. He spoke of the advantages to be de rived in the reciprocity of interest be tween tenant and landlord, aud made a telling and appropriate point when he alludqd to the friendly feeling that prevailed between tenant and land- costs Towner, which would he cemented by common interest and mutual protec tion —the tenant looking after the in terest of his landlord’s stock, and the landlord protecting his tenant’s stock. He made a pointed illustration of the benefits derived from keeping up stock, instancing an occurrence on his own land to show the increased value of hogs that had been kept enclosed and those allowed to run at large and root for a living. He alluded to the additional revenue tbe land owners would receive from renting lands now necessarily set aside to grow timber for fencing purposes, and that the land owner could utilize this money, now wasted on fences, in building comfortable homes, barns, &c., &e. Mr. Judge stated that he was in favor of every man fencing in his own cattle. He bad been a stock raiser all his life, was a poor man and had to rent land, and believed that the landlord, if so disposed, could render it unpleasant for his tenant, if he was mean enough to do so, but his experience taught him that stock ought to be fenced in. Mr. J. E. Lester r (who has a plan tation in the no fence county, adjoin ing us, of Leon, Fla.) spoke of the effect of the law in that county. At the outset it was looked upon unfa vorably, but in a little while every one favored it, and now would not change. Mr. T. N. Hopkins, being called for, stated that the meeting had been pretty well talked to, but that it time permitted, he would have alluded to the legal aspect of the law as framed, but in view of the late hour, he would deter his remarks to some future time. The meeting having been well en tertained and conducted in the most perfect good humor, and evidently to the satisfaction of all, particularly the large number of colored people, who seemed to take a good deal of inter est in the subject, and -who, by the way, were frequently enlightened on points of interest to them, by the sev eral speakers, the chairman declared the meeting adjourned. Hon. A. T. McIntyre has just sent his father,CoL A T.McIntyro.a pair of fine Holstein cattle from Atlanta. They were on exhibition at the Pied moot. —— ■■■■ •ggp^ : pP are daily receiving At Hymen’s Altar. To night, in the city of Chattanooga, Tenn, will wed a fair and favorite daughtor of Georgia, Mijs Berta Bracewell, to Mr. George England, of Texas. The ceremony will be per formed at the residence of Mr. Will Silva, formerly of this place. Miss Bracewell is a most accom plished vocalist, and a lady of rare mental attainments. Gultivated to a rare degree, refined, charming in man ners, and attractive in person, tbe young lady has, whether at the north —where she pursued her studies—or in her own "Sunny South,” drawn about hersclt a host of friends and admirers, who appreciated fully her many sterling womanly qualities. In Thomasville she is well known, and from here a host of tneods will waff sincere and cordial congratulations, to the bride of to-night. The "Empire State of the South” loses, and the “Lone Star State” gains, most accomplished and charming lady. The bridal couple will leave Chat tanooga to-morrow, going via New Orleans, for their future home, Lam pasas, Texas. May perfect happiness crown the union, is the wish of Miss Berta’s many friends in Georgia. The Proper Solution of the Question. Elsewhere will be found the piocee- dings of the Board of Health, at a meeting held on the 29th ult. They reccommend that the Stuart, Gulf, jail, S., F. & W. Ry., and other par ties, who may so desire, be given a common sewer, commencing at Jack- son street, and running down, or near, tbe Parnell branch. This is the prop er solution of the sewerage question for the w4st side of Broad street. The council has ordered the initial part, of the work to be done. The sewer can be extended in sections, as was the main sewer on the east side of Broad. The county will connect the jail sewer with the main one, and will, no doubt, bear its proportionate part of the expense, as, without the co-ope ration of Jhe town, it would have to provide its own sewer. The sewer will be ready, w$ pre sume, for tbe Gulf to connect with it, on the xst of Dec., when the hotel opens. -AND Winter CLOTHING! Work commenced on the boule vard yesterday morning.
