Mow,trie, Qa., March 16—All
the bridges are afloat and the roads
terribly cat up by the recent heavy
raius. It is said that one bridge
on OcSpiled is gone and several
damaged.
Oats are looking well; corn Is
still struggling against fearful odds
to hoi 1 its head up. It will prob
ably do better now as the weather
has moderated.
It seems that such days as this
are only intended for rest and rec
reation. If Adam and Eve bad ever
experienced a few such days in
South Georgia, the devil and all
his hosts could not have tempted
them to quit loafing and go to work

your correspondent, in company
with Col. Patterson, Squire J. F.
Cooper aud ex-Ilepresentative Mc
Clelland, set sut for Thouasvillc
on Wednesday last. It'is quite
strange that there is hut one swim
ming stream from here to Tbouiai-
vlile, a distance of 50 miles. For
nine miles we traveled through as
lonely a pine barren as I ever saw.
When we struck Thomas county
the lands grew more fertile after a
distance ot 10 or 12 miles, and well-
tiiled farms and cosy homes dot
the landscape. Sixteen miles
brings us to Big Creek, which is
well bridged, and on the bill, south
of the creek iu a beautiful grove of
troes, stands the new and elegant
Baptist church. A few miles fur-
tber and we enter “New Aprico.”
The negroes have the plantations
on either side of the road and have
substituted them into small lots.
From present indications they seem
to he doing wpII. On this road
there are no large farms and •id-
time residences like there arc on
other roads leading to Thomnsville.
The first thing that reminds us that
we are nearing the city, are the

FROM ENTERPRISE.
KntekI'RIbk, March ITtli.— Bdi-
Ton ItEcottusii:—As your weekly Is
quite a favorite in our section, and
I presume the county Lee, please
allow space for the following re
marks, regarding the stock law,
not for notoriety, controversy, nor
anything, save the mutual benefit
and advancement of onr farming
interests:
It is a couseded fact but few will
contradict, that where the law has
been adapted and ample time for
experience it is almost unanimously
favored. Did you ever know
hear of any county reverting to the
old system afteradoptlng the stook
law! I think not, which seems ought
to be conclusive evidence of itssu
perior benefits and advantage for
farmers especially, and suit the
professional men equally as well
Now the question is often asked
even through the press,why farmers
don't raise t.'ieir meat and have bet
ter milch cows, etc. In my bumble
judgment it is for want aof well reg
ulated stock law; not to do away
with the fence, as some seem to
think—that it is optiouary toyman
hut force us to keep all stock un
der a good ft-uce. There are some
farmers who raise their own meat,
the majority of whom keep their
hogs in pasture. The man who
kills half enough for heme supply
is fortunate under the present sys
tern. I have heard many good men
say they could buy meat cheaper
The trees are I than they oould raise it. Not that

A good many brick were on the

caused a pretty severe loss to the

‘I In consequence of the inclement
weather we were unable to visit

Arp would say, they keep coming
up missing until there is none to
c*me up. I know a man, a renter,
too, who, this time last year, had
between 80 and 40 fineaizesboats.re
marked ha was going to kill a fine
lot of meat next winter, fed over 100
bushels of corn to keep them grow
ing and coming up. The result
was ha killed eight of them. Wak
uot that dear meat!' to say nothing
of his trouble aud time. This
seems to he oue trouble in many
plaoes iu our southern country.
The average darkoy doei not try
to raise any meat, only in a saok.
Of course thorc are exceptions to
tbe ru!es.|Tbls is plain, but 1 believe
in being as plain as circumstances
demand in all things. Are not
there more or less litigation in all
our courts iu reference to Oulfce aad
slock? Would t not he diminished?
hence less convicts. Woul I It not
enhance the value aud quality of
stock, besides the great saving of
timber which is fust being con
sumed in various ways. There are
many good farms new that it is
difficult matter to decently fence
itself. There are mauy more
advantages too tedious to impose
in this. Farming as we all know,
when prosperous other business is
Ausb, verily, we might say tho
boue and sinew of all enterprise.
The question has often beeu asked,
through the press Loo, and almost
abruptly, so much so that they
wero accused of hunting shady
places, why more young men do
not go at farming? Why, Mr. Edi
tor, it la just aa impossible for a
young man to rent a place, buy’ his
stock, hire hands, upset and repair
the fencing, with other incidental
necessary expenses and succeed in
farming under tbe present system,

DAWSON DOTH. . /
Dawson, March, 20—Dawson
keeps to tbe front In tbe number
of marriages. Mr. Tom Williams
and Miss Llsisle Dozier were united
in tho boly bonds of matrimony on
Sunday last at Bronwood. Anoth
er wedding is being discussed, but
no oue can find out certainly the
particulars.
Work on the artesian well baa
been discontinued, much to the
regret of the citizens. It is to be
hoped that it will bo only tempo
rary as It’s completion would bo
of incalculable benefit to tbe town.
Last Sunday was a “red letter
day” on College Hill. Prof. M.
A. McNulty’s boarders and faculty
presented hire, as a birth-day pres
ent, a magnificent anil complete
silver water service and an e*egant
silver cake basket. The President
was of course delighted with tbe
tokens of esteem end regard, of
bioh he is entirely deserving.
The recent heavy rain* have
“played the wild” with the storm
pits. Some of them are"several
feet in water and others are fit only
for gopher homes.
“April.day” will soon he here,
and all the college girl* and boys
are beginning to wear sags loots
and have consuItoitionB over some
important event, perhaps devising
a way of spending “AH Pools Day”
in a pleasant manner.
Spring is coming, the .s weet fra.-
grance of wild flowers is inhaled
from ovrry breath of wind which
klsscB the cheeks of blushing maid
ens, and lasses the curls over fair
brow*. Tho moonlight nigjita are
beautiful, and the weather balmy
June. Bleak winter has retired
to his ice girt home, and “nature
rejoices with a thousand happy
oices, o’er all the beautesua land.”
Farmers are busy planting their
corn and preparing for tbk coming
crop. It is lisped that providence
will be less cruel tkAn last year.
May no drou >bt scorch the earth;
dry up the water courses, wither
the growing grain, but may this be
year of peace, plenty and bappi.
ness to our whole country.
Our business men are looking as
if tbe future had something gotd
store for them. Commercial
tourists visit us frequently. The
agle A i’hieuix Co.,of Columbus,
have bought heavily of cotton this
week, for home oonaflmptlon.
■Speed the day when southern.manu
factories can equal the, north
in quantity and quality of goods.
The hotel is doing a thriving-busi
ness. The college matriculates
new pupils weekly. The other
schools in town are patronized lib
erally. The health of Dawson was
never better, and cannot b« sur
passed.
Baldwin, Jones and Crouch, who
are “doing up” Florida, report a
jolly time, plenty of game, and no
prospect of a return, home.
Dawson, tieorgla.
