No Fence in Politics.
Albany News.
In the most populous counties of
Georgia, where peace ami prosperity,
twin sisters of wisdom and industry,
bU*tß tin* laboring swain, there are no
worm fences that look 'like the trail of;
the serpent over the fair landscape. The
intelligence of the people has caused
them to rise and put away such injurious
boundaries to their progress that even
put a limitation on production.
Counties that were on the verge of
bankruptcy, long ago, carneto the con
clusion that nothing hampered and tax
ed them so as farm fences, and to stay
the tide of emigration, especially of their .
young men, who sought more inviting j
fields, where labor found its just reward,
and where the spirit of progress was <
ripe, they calmly determined to do 1
away with a custom that had grown up |
with the country from its early days,
when fences were a recognized necessity.
What the result has been the News and
Advertiser points to the proud position
which these counties, once almost aban
doned, have lately taken among ‘the
prosjierous communities of Georgia.
The mingled notes of busy farm life and
bustling villages form a pleasing sym
phony by which the march of progress
is grandly proceeding. Lands have been
greatly enhanced in value, stock of all
kinds have been improved no* only in
quality but in quantity, and to-day the
contented laborer of the field, the pros
perous land owner and the busy artisan,
all unite in attributing to the passage of
tlie no-fence law this happy and benefi
cent change.
Morgan county, whose recent success
ful colt show, which would have done
credit to any blue grass county of Ken
tucky, attracted attention from every
quarter, is said by its citizens to have
been enabled to make such an exhibit
only by the happy results of the no fence
law.
West Dougherty has enjoyed this law
but a short time, and to the observant
its good effects are already apparent,
and many colored laborers and tenants,
who one year ago opposed it, are now
heartily in favor of it. The day is not
far distant when the no-fence law will be
regarded by the people of Dougherty
county aw the genesis of new agricultural
life and prosperty t;o our country. It it
lias effected such, a transfiguration of the
old red hills of Georgia into blooming
gardens, what must be its possibilities
for the fertile Oaky Woods section of
West Dougherty.
Other issues may vise to divide our
iK*oplc, about which there can be honest
differences, but it seems to us, with all
the lights we have before us, that none
who have at heart the interest of our
county could want a fence law to prevail
for West Doughery.
The Fatal Effects of Alcohol.
According to Dr. Richardson, alcohol
cuts down by disease, in England and
Wales alone, 1,000 persons a week.
WLat, adds the doctor, if any othercause
of mortality did the same? What if
1,000 persons per week died, in the same
area, from the bite of the rabid dog or
the snake, by the swallowing of arsenic,
opium, or prussic acid? What it some
thousand persons a week were known to
be killed by the secret devices of*the slow
poisoner, who, under the guise oi triend
ship, went about and instilled into his
victims some subtile drop which led to
the shortening ot their life and to the
production of lingering organic fatal
disease? What, indeed, then would be
the cry and the action? Why, all
through the ranks of thegreat profession
of medicine there would be a tumult ot
labor and toil, such as never before was
seen, to remove the calamity. Men
would be ambitious to be first to dis
cover by experiment, by experience, the
cause of so fearful an evil, and to remove
it instantly; while he who won the vic
tory over the calamity would be extolled
as illustrious, and crowned with honor
become a household word from among
the children of Eseulapius. Yet here one
single cause making this deadly havoc, a
cause well known and easily removable,
in >pite of its evils and in face of its easy
removal, is permitted to remain in sight
with the majority of the army of medi
cine looking on in apathy, pitying us
“poor foolish fanatics” who are exercis
ing our limited powers £o uproot it, and
some, with the rest of the world, so
sharing the calamity as to become co
partners in the destruction which follows
from the participation.
“Little boy," said a gentleman, “why
do you carry that umbrella over your
head? It's not raining.” “No.’’ And
the sun is not shining.” “No,” “Then
why do you carry it?” “’Cause when
it rains pa wants it, when the sun shines
ina wants it, and it's only this kinder
weather that I can get ter use it at all.”

Georgia comes down to breakfast with
a swollen visage, whereupon mamma
says to the four-year old: “Georgie,
don’t you feel well? Tell mamma what
the matter is.” Georgie, full of influenza,
replies: “No, I don’t feel well. Bofe inv
eyes is leekin', and one of my noses don’t
go*”
Not long since C.S. Cults, who resides
in Houston county, about four miles
from Marshall ville, went out to his corn
field, two miles from home, and found
eight hands plowing in the high corn
with not a rag of clothes on them, not
even a hat.
Lightning never strikes twice in the
same place. Neither does a mule. They
doa’t have to.
Tribute of Respect.
Mrs. Sallie Owens, nee Jones, widow of
the late John S. Owens, of this county,
died at her home near Kuharlee Sept.
17th, 1888, aged about 51 years.
She was stricken with paralysis the
day before she died, and seemed unusu
ally well at church in the forenoon and
in fhe afternoon of the same day, not
thinking that such a sad fate should be
fall her at eventide, and that some of
her children would never hear mother's
voice again.
She was a member of the Baptist
church and doubtless a consistent Chris
tian, and while her tongue could not re
spond to the anxious inquiries of her
children her daily walk was sufficient
evidence of her safe exit from suffering
to the home of her God. She, too, had
been in the “fiery furnace” of affliction,
death’s cold touch had visited her home,
yet, without a murmer, she buried her
loved ones, believing with her whole
heart, that “He doeth all things well.”
She was a sweet spirited, sunny heart
ed Christian and will be greatly missed in
the family circle, in the church, and in
the community. No more will she come
to *us speaking words of comfort, no
more will her hands close dying eyes, no
more errands of mercy will she perform,
for her work is finished here. The Mas
ter said: “She hath done what she could,
come up higher.”
She leaves eight children, five sons and
three daughters, to mourn her departure.
We drop g tear of sympathy and refer
them to their mothers God, for “earth
has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.”
“O, the lost, the miforgotten,
Tho’ the world be oft forgot!
O. the shrouded and the lonely.
In our hearts they perish not.”
A Friend.
A German citizen of Hoboken was in
formed that a lady had called to see him
in his absence. “A lady,” he mused
aloud, “a lady.” Upon an accurate des
cription he suddenly brightened up and
added: “Oh dot vos no lady; dot vos my
wife.”
