FROM PUTNAM.
Putnam, March 20.—Maybe we
would .never have known there
were Several pretty daysdurlugthe
first of last week had the fact not
been so indelibly impressed by
about a half dozen Rkcobder cor
respondents. But, friends, you are
excusable, Your "beautiful day”
items help to’, till up, and when
you hove nothing else to wrlle
about, tiie condition of the weather
nnturally suggests itself, thoagh
it is just alike everywhere.
The Block law as it exists, is un
just, and should be repealed or
amended. It works to tho advan
tages of some, while it oppresses
others that nre as much entitled to
protection. To Illustrate, a fence

district In Marion county join, a
farmer living on the line, hut In
Schley, though he Is in favor of the
stock ,'aiv, must keep his stock
fenced to keep them off his Marion
county neighbors crops, while he
dare not tear down a panel of fence
from around his crop, as by doing
so, he exposes his crops tothestoek
running at large in Schley. If the
Schley county man leaves down
only one panel of fence, and his
crops are damaged from either
Marlon or S diley heliasnorecour.se,
but on the other hand the Marion
county man tears down every panel
of his fence, if ho likes, aud can re
cover for any damage done by stock
running at large. Let the next
Genei'al Assembly enact a law to
submit tho question to be voted on
as a iaw for the State.
Is there money in raising cotton'.’
is a question that possibly tins been
asked thousands of times, and
maybe due to the general embar
rassment of the fnrmers, lias inva
riably been answered iu the nega
tive. But experiments are demon
strating, th»t failures are due more
to management than to a system of
planting cotton. We mot a young
fanner at the Htate Alliance last
year, who hud commenced almost
without a single dollar, bought
BOO acres of land on credit, and by a
system of almost all cotton, hud
paid for It iu five years. We have

Thursday Mr. A. E. Sbealy, deputy
sheriff, called on Bill Hohbs, who
was in the Sumter county jail,
placed there at the Instance of Mr.
J. M. Kieckley, who charged Hobbs
with*having committed larceny
after trust. Hobbs, being brought
to Oglethorpe, and failing to give
bond, was lodged in jail. Yester
day a committal trial before Copt.
Snead was given him, and the
prosecution set up the fact that
during last year Mr. IClockley de
livered lo Hobbs a horse, with the
express understanding that Hohbs
was to trade the horse for a good
mule, and deliver the mule to
Kieckley in place of the horse.
Hobbs made the trade, aud even
more than the one. He kept on
trading until he tradod afoot, and
never delivered to Kieckley the
mule, horse, money or nothing else
as value received for the horse,
Hobbs, failing to vindicate him
self by*a satisfactory answer to
these charges, he was remanded to
jail to await his trial at the Superior
Court. Col. Hixon represented the
prosecution and Judge Kimbrough
the defendant, both of the Ameri-
cus bar.
Quarterly meeting was held at
tills place last Sunday, and the ser
vices were conducted by Elder P.

Buonwood, Ga., March 27.—The
writer visited his old home in Ala
bama last week, after an absence of
twenty years. Many changes have
been made in that time, but from
goneral appearances not much im
provement. The same old hills and
rock's are there, but near ail of the
old inhabitants have either died or
moved away.
Bronwood is the loveliest place to
