He is in his eighty-eighth year, and has passed the greater portion of his life in the town of McDonough. Some of our citizens who invested in wire fencing have put it into practical operation. The question of fencing in this country will become a serious one before minv years, and if some enterprising individual would invent a patent that would prove a success he would make an independent fortune. Tjie concert to be given by the young people of McDonough is being definitely arranged, ami we hope soon to secure from the committee a programme to place before 'he public. A meeting was held at the residence of Mr. A W T urner on la-1 Mon day evening, at which a large number of ladies were in attendance. Everything passed off pleasantly, and everybody seemed to l>e enthused about the concert. Mrs. A. W Turner was placed at the bead of the committee of arrangements, and with her usual energy and perseverance is proceeding to make it a success. As soon as everything lias been permanently arranged we will give a more Satisfactory notice to the public of the general programme. In the mean lime we hope that everybody will be making up their ini'ids to attend.

Hampton Ga., January 31;6m Ten Good Reasons WHY THE STUDEBAKER WAGON IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD! Ist. It is nude of the best selected Indiana timber, the same being cut at the proper season of the year, piled under sheds, properly dated, and allowed^to remain there from 3to 5 years. 2d. The wood work, thoroughly seasoned, is shaped bv the latest improved machin ery, ami jiut together by the best Wagon VI ■clmnics in the world. 3d Our Patent Bevel Edged P-ejecting Tire saves the paint on the felloe, and con sequently -lives the felloe from weuring, when running in a frozen rut, or on a rocky road. 4th. The i'himhle Skeins ate made of select iron, und weigh from 4 to 25 pound* per set m ire than nny others made, and therefore do not break. sth. T e Skeins are set by a patent skein setter, which takes exact pattern of the inside of the skein to which the axle is to be fitted, thereby making a true fit, and a perfect running wagon. 6th. It is Ihe only wagon in which the Slope-Shoulder Spoke is used, hence they have the best wheel, which is actually the Inundation of the wagon, and should be earefally examined bv persons purchasing. 7th The hubs are all bored true, then the Skein boxes are turned to fit on an iron Lithe, and are then pressed into the hub by hydraulic pressure, thereby insuring h perfect and tight lit, preventing the box from ever working loose, or allowing oil or water to soak in between the box and the hub, us is the case in most makes of wagons where tbe boxing is Wedged in. Bth. It took the highest award of merit and the Grand Medal at the Centennial Ex position for excellence of material and superior workmanship in competition with the world. 9th The Studehaker Brothers are practical workmen, attend to their business per sonally, and do not intru-it it to the foreman, as is generally the tfase iu large factories, hence the superiority of their work over all others. 10th. It is the 8.-st wagon when New, and Good when Old.
