But, in making this offer, wo are de-
I sirous of having the courtesies restrict-

We had a pleasant visit yesterday
from Mr. G. A. Morkan. of Woytb
county, who is a native of the Emerald

him about’the condition of bis flock,
how he managed them, etc, and drew
out of him a few facts which will
doubtless be of interest to miny of our

cision of the Directors to assume no
obligations, and to make the Fair a free
thing. The Association has always
promptly pud off the premiums award
ed at its exhibitions in the past, and
the action of the Directors in declining
to issue a premium list for a fair this
spring when there is no money in the
treasury for the protection of the good
name of the Association in the event
of bad weather and inadequate receipts
at the gates, is certainly commendable.

as large around as a man’s arm. Mr.
Baston does not know how old this
plant is. He is living at >he old “Sutton

was put out where it now is by the
founder of the place. A century plant
in bloom will be a new and curious

Died In the
Sunday morning coroner Herbert
Wilburn received notice that a colored
man by the name of Amos Hampton
had died in the Sonthern portion of the
county tho night previous under cir
cumstances which demanded the hold
ing of an inquest The coroner sum
moned a jury and proceeded to where
the body of die deceased was discover
ed—on the side of the road between
Mr. Keaton's Smut Eye place and Bill-
ingslea's store. According to the evi
dence adduced before the jury of in
quest, it appears that the deceased
went to Billiogslea’s store, riding an
over, gathering all the sheep into one
body. Before starting out we arrange
pens for them at such places as we
think will be most convenient A set
of pens will be prepared on some man’s
place in each neighborhood, and then
we diride ont into squads—each squad
driving all tho sheep they find to these
I pens. When all hava been brought to-
i gether, we first separata the lambs
o, : from the ewes. The rams, tho weth
ers and the dry ewes are then driven
out into another pen. Then the suck
ling ewes are turned, a few at a time,
into the pen where the lambs are. As
soon as an ewe finds her lamb—and she
will not rest a second until she does
find it—we catch the Drab and mark it
in the same mark that its mother bears.
When the lambs have been marked
then we go through all the pens and
divide the sheep off into lots according
to their marks, thus getting every
man’s sheep to themselves. This be
ing done each man drives his sheep
home to hu own pens and shears
them.”
“How (ai does the range of your
sheep extend ?” •
“Well, sir, I have to mint for my
sheep at shearing time from Flint river
to Little river—a distance of from
forty to forty five milts—and south of
me as far as the Thomas county line.
Owners of slieop in my neighborhood
drive from penning places in Colquitt,
Mitchell and Berrien counties.”
“How many sheep have yob, Mr.
Horkan ?”
“I turned out 'between 930 and 1,000
last spring; but I am afraid I will not
be able to get more than half of them
back again this spring. The sheep
Imre died up fearfully all over this sec
tion of country during the past win
ter.”
“Did they dir from disease, or from
the effects of tho extreme winter 1”
“It was the extreme winter. The
cold almost entirely destroyed tha
range, and tho sheep got very poor,
and many of them perished in the
woods.”
“Do you never pen your sheep ex
cept at shearing time ?”
“No, sir. As fast as we shear them
we turn them out upon the range again,
and we don’t drive them up any more
until the next spring.”
“How much wool do you generally
get at a clipping—what is the average
fleece ?’
“From 2% to 3 pounds per head is
abcut the average. Three'.pounds of
wool to the sheep is considered a very
goood yield.”
“How do you think this spring's wool
clip in Southwest Georgia will compare
with the last T’
“This spring's clip will not begin to
come up with last year’s. The sheep
are generally poor, and then the win
ter has killed out so many of them that
there will not be as many to shear this
spring as there were last.”

The Directors of the Fair Associa
tion have done the host they could
under the circumstances, and the fact
that they do not feel authorised to of
fer a list of premiums u no reason
why we should not have a Spring Fair
—such an one, too, as will be credita
ble to our section, and of much interest,
profit and real enjoyment to our peo
ple. By n little concert of action and
thedispUy of a commendable degree
of rivalry between our ladies, Tgarden-
era, farmers and business men, this
can, in fact, be made the most interest
ing fair within tho history of the
Southwest Georgia Industrial Associa
tion, and one that will surpass all of
its predecessors in point of real pleas
ure to tho people. The faot that no
premiums are offered should not deter
the progressive farmer, the tasty house
wife, the accomplished young lady, the
skillful gardener, the enterprising
business man or public-spirited citizen
of any class from contributing to
an exhibition for the purpose of
encouraging home industry and the
development of the resources of oor
section. It will be pleasant and profi
table, too, for friends and neighbors to
compare their handiwork and products.
The grounds and buildings will bn free
to all; there will be no formality, no
restraint upon any one; there will be
no “superintendents of departments”
to tell you where and how you must
arrange your articles for exhibiitoa;
in short, it is to be a free-for-all,
go-as-you-please, come-back when-you
get-ready, home-folksy, free-and-easy
affair, and every man, woman 'and
child in the county with a clear con-
deuce and of a sociable disposition can
go and have a good time.
In the absence of any premium list
Dining from the Association, the News
and Advertiser suggests that an at

would greatly increase the interest in
the exhibition and at the same time
afford a varied programme of amnsc-
meats for the occasion, might bo made

column, to which offer wc invite the
attention of our readers. We hope oth
ers will join us and that in less than a
week we will have a whole column of
premiums to lay before the public.
Let those who feel disposed to join us
send in their announcements and we
will insert the same and keep them be
fore the public, free of charge, until the
day of the Fur. A brief description
of the premium, the name of the party
by whom it is offered, and the condi

ia all that is necessary. There is no
business man in the dty who cannot
afford to offer a premium of soma sort.
Let its intrinric value be ever so little,
it will.add to the list, and will be con
tended for. Thus can a good display

now in Camilla, where he has taken
contracts for a number of buildings.
He will enter at ones upon the making
of brick. We are glad to know that
Camilla, notwithstanding her two

on a more substantial basis than ever
before. We commend Mr. Cobb to
the people of Mitchell, our old borne,

attached, still hold his own as tho belt
combination man in Georgia. Like
these universal horses at fain) he has
all gaits. Go into his court room and
you see a judge at rest—dignified—no
confusion around him—everybody si
lent and bats off—business done in or
der; meet him on the street, and you
find a jovial, cheerful fellow, full of
sly mischief; go a-fishing with him and
it is “old Pete,” ready for any wind or
tide, submitting cheerfully to the va
rieties of the fisherman's look; walk up
to tho Mayor’s office, and yon find His
Honor deciding the question “to be or
not to be” of the offenders of the law;
call up Dash and Stroll into the sedge
field, and no one can equal him in
“taking on the wing;” or step down to
his cotton patch, or corn or chnfa
patch, and you see him, patient as the
ox-man going to mill, plowing a steer
^■crying out “gee—haw” with all the
gusto of an old veteran. We ‘almost
forgot Pete's finest accomplishment:
meet him at a singing meeting, and he
can sound the basso in such a deep,
sonorous tone as to pnt the best Dutch
man to shame. If be was only a mem

—The Index, in it* Ransey Sniffle
article, has this to say of foreign mis
sionaries' who come Sooth: “Those
who do come, so far os we haTe seen
them, are, to say the least, extremists
if net fanatics. They are ill-balanced
men who take one-sided views of
things, and who, .if we do not agree
with them in all that they say, - imag
ine ns to be miserable barbarians; and
because they belong to the side that
was stronger in war, they walk with
the step of conquerors and seem to
think if we do not submit to their dic
tation oa all subjects, we not only sin
against God, but are dialiyal to tho
government; and they so report ns;
and this irritates our neighbors, and
they say things to irritate ns; where
upon we feel less kindly towards the
missionaries thsn before, and they then
make worse reports than before, and
thus matters go on indefinitely.”
