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 ■“St least I think so. l''rora Moultrie to Thomasrille 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 I,e Conte orchards. few links oTi sausage extending from button hole to the watch peck- et of his new vest.

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.

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.

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, youjjjf^rek'pondent* crop rnort- gagf with difficulty.

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.
