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.” Terrible ITore warnings. Cougli in the morning, hurried or diffi cult breathing, raising phlegm, tightness, in the chest, quickened pulse, chiliness in the evening or sweats at night, all or auy of these things are the first stages of con sumption.
