THE MESSENGER. N. ('. NAl’ 11 ii, B<lit o r. LA FAY KITE, HA. Fed. 24. 1881 On tho Fence ami off I lie V'once. A few communications have been published, from our correspon dent ‘ Wilaon," on the “No Fence” question, and ns it is n mutter wor thy of the attention of nl! who arc interested in farming. we bring it Up here. Editors, ever since the tiipod wiiH invented, have been fence advocates. Whenever their renders divide, they must have some place on which they can sit nod smile on both aides and they take the fence. Hut leaving the imaginary and coming the real, there arc two theories among men as to fences, one the old the other the new. According to the old u man holds his property and makes his crop at his own risk, f'is land is free to rambling stock unless pro tected by u fenuj ‘'horse high, hull proof, and pig tight.” The burden of keeping them out is on the far mer. No matter how useless or ex pensive a fence may he to him, up it must go, and up it must stay. Under the new, the responsibility of controlling stock fulls on the owner. It is his place In provide secure enclosures, and should they break out and damage the crops of his neighbors, lie fonts the bill. Now which, reduced to practice, is the better, the old or ttie new ? Laws are made not for tho benefit of an individual but of the musses. The greatest good for the greatest number should be the law makera aim. And in deciding the question, apart from the abstract question of right or wrong involved, the touch stone to which it should, he brought j is that of dollars and cents. Which j pays the best, and which practice will he the cheapest,"not to the in dividual hut to the county. Does the outside pasturage, leaving out I the mountain range which could still he used, pay for the money, j labor and material invested in sur- I plus fencing in this section? Wei have not the data by us to discUßS : the question by a statement of facts, j but it is a matter to which our pen- I pie should give some thought. In another article we shall speak of the satisfaction the r.ew system has given, where we have seen it tried, and especially how the rights of tlie renter have been effected. Letter l‘ l-0111 Olmi. Athens, 0., Feb. 17,1881. Allow me through your paper to address my many friends in Walker an.! adjoining counties. I started from Ringgold on toe 14th., and spent the afternoon in Chattanooga. Left Chattanooga at 8 p. m., by the Cincinnati Southern railroad. The night was a beautiful moonlight, and after traveling some seventy five miles found snow which con tinued through Tennessee and southern Kentucky. Arrived in Cincinnati at 8 o’clock Tuesday morning. Spent Tuesdav in the city. Culled on Capt. Robert S. Pomeroy, auditor of the Cincin nati Southern railroad. Had an agreeable conversation with him and find him to lie a very agree able gentleman. Left the city at 8 P. M., byway of the M. & C. railroad. The snow began to fall pretty lively, but we soon traveled through the storm and on reaching Chilicothe could see but slight clouds. Arrived home at 2 o’clock Wednesday morning; found family well except the youngest child, who is still unwell from effects of diphtheria. I had a pleasant trip or. my return, good company,etc. And I believe if possible I would like to make such 11 trip every year. I found so many friends in Georgia who seemed proud to see me, and on my return here I am greeted by j hosts of friends, ad seeming to welcome niv return after hut about two months absence. My brother enjoyed the trip i hugely and thinks lie will like this j country wonderfully well. I shall remain at home but a few days. Will start on a trip through Mary-! land and Pennsylvania on business for a house in our town on the 23d inst., Hml will likely lie awav for four or five weeks. Tlierefire my friends must ue patient about letters from me ns it will be impossible for me to write to each and every one immediately. Accept my thunks for copies of your paper received at Chestnut Flat before I left. I should have written you another letter before I started but for want of opportunity. I will close this by wishing all the good to the people of North Georgia that it is their privilege to enjoy, and wish tlip Messenger may prosper under ycur administration and prove use ful and instructive to the people. Suppose some of your readers write on education through your paper? Respectfully, eeu. T. A. Cooper. AKKASSAM LKTTKKS. As a tew of our Walker county friends would pr hably like to know something about the country j we are living in, I will try to de scribe it to some extent tlirou h the clumps of your valuable paper, which is a welcome weekly visitor at our fireside. We can't do witli . out the Messenger, it. seems likeun old friend, Hope this year will be the brightest in Its history. We live in win t is called Big Bend on the Ouachita river, ten miles 1 frjm Dallas, the county site of Polk. The river runs in a south easterly direction, heading near the ; Chock taw nation. The countiy | through here is very mountainous r but rich and productive. Cotton is the staple crop; can raise 11 thou- ' sar.d to fifteen hundred pounds per acre almost any season; corn also grows well, making from fifty to j seventy-five bushels to the acre. Wheat is not a sure crop in this sec j lion; the land not being properly j prepared is the cause I think, for it is crtninly rich enough. Mills is another cause; our nearest wheat mill is fifteen miles awa v. The bot tom lands along this river are in very large bodies for so small a stream for you must recollect it does not afford any more water in the 1 summer senson than the Cliicarnau gus but is past all crossing when there is much ruin. 1 know of per sons who have from eighty to one hundred ncres ot cleared land in one body, and very level. The up land doesn’t lie so level. When a man starts out to travel in this country, he iiad better take his din ; tier witli him, or he might have to do without it for you can travel all day and never see a house, but you willsee plenty of deer and turkey, i This country ig as heathy now as uny Jther. I expect people chill here in tho summer season, but j this is caused mostly from expos- I nre to the cold in hunting, so I am told. This section is well watered i by springs and streams, some of which however, dry up in thesurn | nier season. There is some excitement here about minerals, the old I ouisiana mines are said to he near here. J have hut two grand objections i to this country, both of which time will remove. The first is society; fighting and drinking are some times the order of the day; the Sab bath is not regarded by some any more than other days. The second ! is its remoteness from market. Hot i Springs or Arkdelphia, is our near est railroad point a distance of sixty miles. More anon. Respct’y. F. W. Thornton. Russ I :j,iVII.I.E.—I have b»en a | subscriber to the Messenger a long time, but it is of more comfort to me at present than at any other time since I have been taking it. There is a great deal of immigra tion to this State at present, nearly every train bringing them from the different states east of here and yet there is room for thousands more. We have had a very had winter ;so far, which has rendered* the gathering of crops almost impossi ; bie. There is a great deal of cotton ! yet ungathered. Farmers are offer ing 81 25 cents for picking. Myself nod the company 1 came with are well pleased with ourmove The health here is good at ■ present.

It is not proposed in these arti cles to draw pictures; let the peo ple open their eyes and look about , them. In what town ar<, there not. evi ; deuces of this pestilence? In what; family are there not taints of this leprosy? The misery that comes | out of strong drink cannot be ex pressed in figures. Disease, pau perism, murder, lust, hunger, cold, ! nakedness, dishonor, broken hearts ; and blighted lives, these cannot be summed up in figures, but they \ tell us something of the work of j liquor. 1 look around me, not ! here only, hut also through the ! world, I see the frightful, the intol- j erable evidences of the devastation wrought hy one fatal sin, the sin of drunkenness. lam unable, 1 have , not the heait to touch on one tenth part of the prools which demon strate to every serious mind, which is at. all acquainted with the facts ol this question. Focus the lurid gleams which Hash upward from tips pit ot destruction, and you will see how frightful is theglare. Track the subterranean rum. lies lions of this evil, and you will see how the whole nation, how the whole em prire, is underminded; how every step we take is over tire, ever burst ing through the treacherous ashes.
