AGRICULTURAL MEETING.
| The Terrell County Agricultural
and Horticultural Society, met at
Chickasawhatchie or. Saturday, the 31
ihst., and was called to order by Dr.
C. R. Moore, the president.
Oq motion, Dr. R. B. Ricves was
made Secretary, pro. tern. After or
ganising, on motion of Joel E. Hun
ter, the meeting adjourned until 2
o’clock, and all were invited to his
house to dinner. After feasting, sump
tuously, on wholesome viands, served
up io such a manner as to reflect
great credit on the landlady, and de
monstrated that she knew what to do
with the goed things resulting from
the industry of an intelligent farmer,
the meeting was culled to order, in the
parlor of our host, anl business re
sumed. The question for discussion
was “Does it pay, or is i: best, to con
sume time to pile and compost uur
home—made or other feitiltzers pre
vious to the time of using them; or is
it etonomy of lime arid labor Io com
post them in the drill at the time of
planting ?”
The discussion was oponed by Dr.
J. R Janes, favoring; the penning ami
composting before use. He, also, gave
a recipe tuinislied him by Mr June-,
of the Mate AgiiculUital fcioc.ety, for
composting which reads as follows:
“'table manure, 750 pounds!
Cotton seed, 700 ”
Carolina phosphate, or
dissolved hone, 500 ”
making a ton, costing sl3 75.’’
Mi. E. Bellflower spoke favorably
of Lt gan’s phosphate as a valuable
fertilizer to compost with others at a
Cos! of $25.00 per ton.
Mr. Thus. J. Bellflower repotted the
condition of crops, etc., in the town
district as follows:
“Corn an sugar cane, one half of a
crop; Sweet potatoes and ground p' as,
one-third of a crop : Field peas, one-*
eighth of a crop. Mock in good con
dition. Health good, Save a few cases
of diarhooa.”
The question of finance was on mo
tioD deferred to t ext tueetii g.
A vote of thanks was, oil me ion,
endeied to Mr. ami Mis. Hunts), for
their kind ness and gem tou - hospitality.
Hie meeting then adjourned, to
meet in Dawson, on the first Saturday
in December. As that will be an ini
poitant meeting, all aie earnestly so
dded to at'end and lend their assis
tance in arranging the bn iness of the

THE LA RGESTSXA ICE IN AMERICA.
We were yesterday informed hy Mr.
Smith, ii.ing on (iuaptw btynu, that
while hb and his son Wil iam, aged
about thirteen years, were out in the
woods on Monday afternoon Inst driv
ing up their cattle, their attention was
attracted hy the bleating of a calf,
some distance from them. Thinking
probably that the poor animal Imd
bogged, they stauel to its assistance.
They h.wl gone only a short d's'ance
down the bayon when they discovered
a year’ing in the coifs ~f a huge
snake, the body of which was -ttspen
ded from the limb of a black gum
tree, about tweuty feet from tlte
ground, and which p.ejected from the
hank immediately over the water
Air. Smith and his s n were almost

the huge leptile us he entwined him

A KNOTTY POINT—AN UNUSUAL
LIFE INSURANCE CASE.
A judgment was rendored at St
Louis on Wednesday by Judge Treat
in a life insurance case, in which a
| singular point was involved. In 18-
00, and for a long time previous,
Charles Ivn'zing, of that city, was ir
debted to William M. P. ice in the
sum ol $5 000. To secure his debt Mr.
Price, on August 1, of that year, took
out a policy for $5 000 on the life of
Mr Kin'z ng in the Arlington and
Piedmont Life Insurance company,
whose principal office is at Richmond,
Ynginia. The premium was $224
per annum, payable by the teims of
the policy “on or before the 3 )th day
of August each year, or within thirty
days thereafter.” The assured took
advantage of the thirty days’ grace
each >ear hy paying the annual pre
miums on the 30th day of 'eptember.
On the 20th day of Sep pmber, 1876,
Mr. Piice learned that Mr. Kiruzing
was in bed very sick and likely to die,
ami was advise i to go immediately
and pay the premium on the policy.—
He replied that there was no hurry,
tie bad till the 30th in which to pay
it, and that if i > the meantime M".
Km zing died he would not havo to
pay it at all. The friend who wasad
vi-ing him urged that trouble might
ensue from the delay in case of Mr.
Kintzirig’s death, and that it was
much better to be on the safe side.—
From this consideration Mr. Pu e
went to the agent Rnd paid the promi
m about 1 o’clock in tho afternoon ol
'tie iJ:h of Sep'etnber. It turned
at, however, that Mr. Kintzirig h
bed about ten o’o'ock that morning.—
I’he company refused to pay the polt
. v on tbe gmiind that the premium
was due and payable on the 30th of
ugust, and that the thirty days were
more v days of grace allowed in which
a renewal might be eff-cted prov : ded
he insured was alive and in good
Health, and that it was simply a pro
vision against the forfeiture of the
policy for non-payment of the premi
.iin during that period. But plantiiT
contended that it was not payable no
il the utmost limit of the thiity days,
ud e Tra it’s decision was in the fol.
owing words: “Plaintiff is entitled to
waiver, under the pleadings and evi
b nc in this cause, the eutitof 84.702,-
50. Judgment accordingly.”
