A steer attached to a buggy in which were seated a negro man and bis wife, passed up Decatur Street yesterday. A man iu Sheffield district has a cow with two well developed tails. She uses one for keeping off flies while she knocks all the milk out of a pail with the oth er. At last accounts Mai was still cultiva¬ ting Ids “ patch ’’ neath the shades of a tabling brook. Bibb and DeKdb have again failed to adopt the ‘ no fence’’ law. So much the worse for these counties. The whole sale destruction of young fish by seining parties should be stop¬ ped. In a few more years, if this thing continues, our streams will be entirely exhausted. Many improved agricultural imple¬ ments are being so ! d in Rockdale this season. What a great saving it would keif these things were only manufac¬ tured at home. It can and should be done. Mr. J.N. Hale is taking in Athens and the press convention this week.

When a legislator possesses himself with the idea that it is essentally neces : 'iry that he should be re-elected no powe on earth could induce him to vote lor a dog law, no matter how much such a law would benefit the state. The opinion of the Macon Te egraph i Messenger that free schools a re a re ini practicable and a curse to a community uaot sustained by facts or figure. At¬ lanta has a superb system of free schools, and it has done more to build up that c:ty than any other one agency. That had and incompetent teachers are sdme times placed at the head of these schools i’ not the fault ot the system, but the people. Ke suppose in aluinst every county there is a prejtce against town and coun - f people- This is very foolish. W hat u to the interest of one is to the inter «>t of the other, and these prejudices di ’'tsions and dessentions should not be allowed to exist. No county can hope to Wsper when the town and country peo Pje Latare are forever divided on all questions for the public good.

True it contains some I lood words and occasionally a touch of I *ad sentiment, that would have I I **desoi ^'0 passable Fiora as SlcFlitnay! pro3e, but for Were poetry it ; a I toducticn of Byron, .Schelly, Moore, I I Yf fl*ink it R r > R nt departure, or Tennyson, poetical we a new -Yf ' ^ to corapr * heed, nature for the the common author but as ^perieace.it t ^'•sniably, of stua'l reputation and must be treated as a clever '*‘ t *~-Do':hiug more—ao'.hing less- Some of our farmets are chopping out •cotton.
