Let us counsel together Tuesday
on the stock law question. It is one
of prime importance to every citizen
of the county.

poses starting a Woodbury,
It is a growing town, situated in a
populous section and a good news
paper would be of untold advantage
to the town.

and we hope be built.
The Macon Telegraph seems ad¬ to
try to create the impression that
vocates of a reform of the tariff
laws are necessarily opposed to the
building up of the manufacturing in¬
terests of the south. There never
was a more erroneous idea promul¬
gated. We favor the building of
_____ w _ have w ad¬
factories here because we
vantages, natural and artificial, that
the world cannot match. Our soil
and climate, our vast mineral depos¬
its and wasting water-power, living all give our
cheap labor and cheap protective
us advantages that need no
tariff to make manufacturing pay.
The development is fast enough to
be healthy and substantial. To ask
that the burden upon the poor over
taxed farmer be lightened, is to do
no hurt to other interests. It but
insures their growth upon a sounder
basis.
OUR TRADE PAPER.
The editor of the Journalist, issued a New
York newspapei, which last
Christmas a superb holiday number,
announced that he would go to work
at once upon his next Christmas num¬
ber. Our experience with our trade
issue of last September demonstrates
the wisdom of his resolution. Our
trade paper was not what we pur¬
posed making it, but it has done a
great good for Harris county. The
demand for it has not yet ceased, as
hardly a week passes that we do not
have calls tor it.
The press of Georgia pronounced
it the best issue of the kind ever pub¬
lished in the state. It is our purpose
however, to greatly improve upon it
in our next. To do so we shall corn
mence work upon it in a short while,
that we may have plenty of time to
carry out our many plans. Every
present or prospective interest of
Harris county will be served as best
as we know how and we shall call
upon our people confidently for their
united help, believing that our form¬
er effort" met their hearty approbation.
Bring your printing to the Jour¬
nal office if you want the best work
at the lowest price.

NO FENCE.
It will be seen from a notice of the
Ordinary that an election will be held
in the county on the first Wednesday
ln July upon the question of Fence or
No Fence. It is an election of much
importance. It ought to be settled
and settled right. It has been too
long a disturbing element in politics
and the only way to eliminate it is to
settle the matter finally at the ap
proaching election. W e are bound
to have the no-fence laws in a short
time, and the sooner we do have it
the better it will be for all of us. The
experience of Troup, Meriwether and
Talbot 1 counties this’ our nearest neieffi- dis
nrove They Two are elemenls not
by
£ w i t h a. S t r iking Unanl mity a .11 the
that they have the stock law. *
In our own county eight of our
fourteen militia districts pronounce
the law good and their experience
ought to profit us At best the far
mcr ls oppressed too much—the
adoption of the no fence aws wi
help to enlarge his opportunities
Now nothing can be done without
organized effort. Reforms that come
without this do not bear their full
measure of good fruit. It is suggest¬
ed then that next Tuesday all who
want the no-fence law and are willing
to work for it, meet in the court
house and organize. Or at least le
solve upon some line of action.

KINGSBORO GLEANINGS.
We are sorry to say that we have
no Sabbath school yet, but sincerely
hope we may have one soon. .
Miss Ida Winfree, one of Harris
county’s fair daughters, is in our
midst, the guest of Misses Ella and
Fannie Hightower.
Our farmers have bright faces
again. The recent rains have dis
pelled the gloom for awhile, and crops
in this section are looking well.
Your correspondent walked over a
portion of Mr. F. B. Hightower’s
farm to day and must say his crop of
corn is the best we have seen.
It was summer with some of our
girls not long since. Beware girls, I
would advise you to guard your hearts
for “Spears,” though grand; are dan¬
gerous weapons.
Two of our young ladies drove out
to Blue Spring last week. They
were excellent drivers and were high¬
ly complimented by their escorts who
were horseback, but one oi them ex¬
pressed a wish that some of the young
men would get new buggies and she
would be just as sweet she could be.
Bojs, 4 bn’t this spur you up ?
Our community was robbed last
week of one of its most highly es

We hope to hear of her recovery soon.
Some of our young people attend¬
ed a fish fry on the Mulberry creek
