This editor has been off roaming around for the last two weeks,# and you must give him a little time to get matters straight about the office. Last Sunday night was a bad one for our Jefferson boys. The girls got into a terrible humor, and jilted them right and left, and great was the excitement thereof. Judge Martin has been “ a red-hot pisen” man against the stock law, and he takes no trouble to hide his sentiments. But it is rumored that he is about to be converted to the other faith by Mr. Jim Williamson’s goats. If he does turn over, this will be another feather in the cap of the irrepressible William goat. What Others Think of It. The following letter is from the President of the State Agricultural Society of South Carolina. The gentleman’s views are cer tainly entitled to more than ordinary con sideration. We publish the letter by request, and it was written to Mr. Nix, of Apple Val ley, in response to his enquiries upon the subject: Anderson, S. C., May 16th, 1881. D. INI. Nix, Esq. —Dear Sir : —Yours of the “20th April was received, and should have been answered earlier, but you must excuse the delay. I am glad to see that you are moving in the fence question, and hope you may succeed in the election. After received yours, I called up an intel ligent negro, who opposed its passage vio lently in this county, and asked his opinion of it no v. He replied that there was a few that it did not suit, but that it was far the hest for a large majority of non-land owners and tenants. He had made himself so ob noxious in the election on this subject that he lost a good place, where he was then living., I do not know of a single instance of a per son who voted for it on its passage that is not pleased with it after a trial. On the other hand, do not think, if it was submitted to a vote alone to those who opposed it, that one in ten would vote against it. You ask what effect it has had on the price of lands ? I will give 3*oll an instance that occurred in this vicinity : A tract of land had been leased for twenty-five 3*ears, and, with 15 years lease to run, brought about $1.25 per acre previous to the change in the fence law. Since that, with only 8 years of the lease to run, it lias sold for SIO.OO per acre. The timber, of course, had all been cut off of it. I recently paid SIO.OO per acre for a tract of land, which, previous to the change in the fence law, I would not have paid $5.00 per acre for. Out stock is reduced in number, but greatly unproved in quality. Milk and blitter are more plentiful than formerly. 1 know of no argument, sustained by rea son, common sense, equity or justice, that can be urged against the change, but everything is in its favor. My neighbor lias (legally) as much right to pasture my enclosed land as he lias my un enclosed, as bis stock, pasturing and feeding upon my land, robs it of its vegetable matter, thus making it poorer every day. What was originally granted as a privilege or favor, is now demanded as a right. The first Act passed in this State on the subject was in 1789, and was passed altogether in the inter est of the stock raiser, this being at that time a range country, and not an agricultural. No county can be prosperous, and have good schools, good churches and good soci ety. whilst it is sparsely settled enough for range. llow absorb, to be reserving one-half of the land in timber for posterity to fence with. Gen. Browne, of Clarke county, as serted to me that the Jences of that county cost more than all the buildings in it. 1 give you this as an instance near by. I have seen the same statement as for other portions of the United States. One of the hardships of the present system is, the poorer the party, or smaller his pos sessions, the more it cost to enclose it per acre. Change your system of fencing, and then many poor men will be enabled to own a homestead who cannot do so otherwise — not being required to own-so much timbered land. I should be gratified to assist you, in any way that I can, in accomplishing so great and so good a change. Very respectfully yours, B. F. Ckaytox. Dead. The following piece of information we get from a correspondent to the Atlanta Con stitution : Dahlonega, May 21.—Mr. R. Maynard, of Jackson county, twenty-four years old, died last night at this place with congestion of the brain Mr. M. had the measles some ten days ago near Auraria. at the house of Mr. Gayden. On Sunday last he escaped from the” house of Mr. G. in a fit of delirium and remained in the woods all night in an almost nude state, lie was then brought here and well cared for up to his death. llis wife and a friend came on yesterday, prepared to take him home, and found him in a dying condi tion. To-day they started home with his lifeless remains, to he deposited in the family burying ground in Jackson county. Harmony Grove.

Mrs. M. E. Matthews was born in Jefferson, Jackson county, Ga., October sth, 1837, and calmly and peacefully fell asleep in Jesus May oth, 1881, at her mother’s residence, near Jeffer son. She was the daughter of Jackson and Re becca Bell. In May, 1801, she connected herself with the Methodist church, and remained a con sistent member until God called her from the church on earth to the church triumphant in Hea ven. She was united in marriage to W. F. Mat thews. ofClarkc county, Ga., February 11th, 1808, with whom she lived happily until God, in his mysterious Providence, called her husband home, February 7th, 187!), leaving her with her three little ones (the youngest only one year old) to bat tle with life alone. Intimately acquainted with the deceased, whose death we deeply deplore, -having known her from my earliest childhood, most truly can 1 say 1 have never known a nobler woman. Being possessed of an amiable disposi tion, she was never happier than when bestowing an act of kindness. Many hearts will respond when I say, illy can the community sustain her loss. Yet Heaven has gained a saint; one fitted for the association of those higher intelligences which filled the spheres and circles of eternity. Ear away in the past our mind reverts to her as a joyous maiden, casting sunshine on all around them as a happy bride. Now we approach her new made grave and silently offer a tear to the memory of our dear friend, who has crossed the river and received the welcome plaudit, “well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the rest prepared for thee.” She now sleeps sweetly, and “ The wintry winds that wreck the sky No more'll disturb her deep repose, Than summer evenings latest sigh That shuts the rose.” Mrs. Matthews was a great sufferer, having been : confined to her bed since December last. She was : never heard to murmur throughout her afflictions, j but bore her sufferings with Christian fortitude. ! She was a good neighbor, a faithful wife, a devo ted mother and a Christian woman. Only a short while before she expired, she told her weeping mother that she would soon be at rest, and would leave her dear little ones with her mother and her God. May He who has promised to be a father to the fatherless, prolong the life of the aged grand mother, and enable her to bring up the little ones so that they will follow the example of their dear, dear mother. “ llow blest the righteous when he dies ! When sinks a weary soul to rest; How mildly beam the closing eyes, How gently heaves the expiring breast.” L. E. D. colored friends had a Sunday School celebration last Saturday. After ap propriate exercises at the church, the proces sion was formed and marched to the grove back of the Methodist church, where the table was spread and the crowd was invited to help themselves. The repast was an elegant one, and was enjoyed by the crowd. The time devoted to the enjoyment of the table was limited, owing to the appearance of the rain. At night there was a performance at the i church by the Sunday School children. Our Railroad. The Directors of the Gainesville, Jefferson & Southern Railroad Company had a meeting in Gainesville last Saturday. Our Directors took occasion to go by where the contractors were at W’ork and get an idea of what progress they were making. They found between 75 and 100 hands at work and the grading was progressing as well as could be expected. The principal business in the meeting was the proposition of the Jug Tavern people to get a branch road from some point on the road to Jug Tavern. The Jug Tavern people having secured twenty thousand dollars worth of stock, asked that the Directors take hold of their branch and build it. After considera tion, it was decided to do so. and the President has, we learn, advertised for bids for the grading of the entire road bed. This road will be something over fifteen railesrin length, and will be a heavy feeder to the main line. After a general discussion of matters, the meeting adjourned. The prospect is as bright as at any time in the past, and work is moving on smoothly, with nothing to interfere, ex cept the lagging of some of the Jefferson stockholders to pay up their assessments. educational: The Board of Education to the Teachers and Trustees of Public Schools in Jack son County—lßßl.
