Mr. Steph¬ ens is chosen and the people have done it, and tnerc‘8 been no juggling or pulling of wires, and it becomes every liody to acquiesce and get in a good humor if they can. Maj. Paeon is a little f ore, I reckon, Imt then he is young and good looking nn 1 can af- ford to wait, I kuo.v a heap of folks whp are older tliau he is, nod as well qiia’iflud, tl at have never had any of- flee at ail. The mistake fhat some folks make is they work up. an idea that the office is their's, when the troth is it belongs to the people. General Gartrell has got a claim and Major Bacon has a claim, but these sort of claims won't stand before a ju¬ ry. I don't know who was the father of this business—that is of gettiug Mr Stephens (o run, but he is a smart man. He saw the breakers ahead. He snuffed the battle from afar. The independents were massing their foices, ntnf they were going to run Mt Stephens theirselves, when suddenly (lie organized come along and stole Imn and carried liioj off, and they have got him yet, and I think they will Keep him until he is elected, and maybe longer, I don't Know—nobody Knows. TIIF, INDEPENDENTS had a big old horse pistol and have been pointing it around and sneering everybody, when suddenly the organ¬ ized slipped tip and grabbed it by tho muzzle and went to beating the irid- pendents ever the heal with the breech of it. It was a regular caso of larceny, it was larceny an assault an battery besides, and they added in¬ sult to injury, foe they used wortls calculated to make a breach of peace. I don't blame the independents fur being mad, but then, on reflection, I don't iliink anybody has anything to brag of. It is a sort of a dog fall all around. If the organized have whip- pi d the light they had to steal the iimmmnnition to do it. It reminds mo of the time when the whig boys of our town sent down to Decatur and borrowed a cannon to make a noise with at a Dr, Miller's barbecue and the night it got there the demo¬ cratic boys stole it while it wao rain¬ ing and carried it off to a swamp, and when Lumpkin was elected over Mil- ler th ‘ ? « ot 11 0,,t “ bj,It “ ud B i 8 ht and lived it off for victory. I‘m not going to holler for anybody just yet. Mr. Stephens will make a good enough GOVERN OR For me or for anybody else, and ho will dignify and adorn the office abio.id, but l doit' think he will be onesided iu the distribution of his pationage, and the independents will stand as good a chance ns anybody. That's nil right with me, for wo have had quarrels enough, and too much, and some of us arc getting along iu years and it don't become us to fuss and fret, ami abuse one another while waiting for tho ferryman to come with his boat. Yon editors especially who are the beacon lights that guide us on opr way, ought to advise liar*- tnony and pence, and good will, and show your precepts by your example, and keep the peace yourselves. It don't pay to get mad about anything, much less politics. Getting road cheats a man out of his time. He loose a day or two days or even a week thinking nnd fretting about it, and that interferes with bis busiuess and derftn 8W his d, S estioa > aml makos lm fi,niil v Ho had better go - dead for a while and coa10 to hfo again.

If a man gels into a fight with anotiier man he might accidently get whipped, and then everybody would hoar of it, but if he whips bims 8.1 f all by himself it would do more good and nobody would ever Know anything about it. Iiut I‘m very hopeful now of a gen- oral reconciliation. If we can all com- promise on Mt. Stephens and burry our tommybawka, it will be splendid, Willingham sayH ho is waiting to see what kind of platform the organized fix up for Mr. Stephens to stand on before he commits the Free Press to him. Well I think wo can fix that with a little short resolution, viz: ‘Resolved, That an independent dem ocrat is just as good as an organized democrat, if not better—provided/ Just leave it that way w ith the pro¬ vided stuck on for imagination, and everybody can finish it according to- their taste.

IFhile it is highly important that every farmer provide good food for his horses and cattle, yet it is equally im¬ portant I hat they should bo fed regular ly.at stated periods. Animals are good time keepers; and if the hour passes at which they avo commonly fed, they are apt to make their wants known; especially is the cow. It is a very- bad practice to feed her often and ir ¬ regularly, and some farmers have an idea that almost every time tlio barn is entered the cows should be given hay or fodder. This is a mistake. The great object in view is to keep the cow quiet and contented, which can be i eudily accomplished by regular feed mg, and supplying all the food they can eat. If fe l in this m-auner in the morning, (he cows will lie down and chew the cud, and are not disposed to be annoyed by the visits of any pur-on. In in the winter seasou, the second feeding should be about two o'clock iu the afternoon, which will al¬ low them to have from that time to the milking all they will eat, an/1 giv¬ ing a feeding of when the milking is finished. The first stom¬ ach of the cow should De empty, or almost so, before more food is eaten. A cow chewing a cud cannot be hun¬ gry. This regularity as regards feed¬ ing should likewise appjy to watering and milking. This regular system of feeding applies fully as well to pigs and sheep,when tho later are iu winter quarters. Animals can be as easily trained as children, and every farmer who beats it iu mind will be amply re¬ warded by tho fiuo appearance of his stock, and the affection which will be bestowed upon him by them.— South¬ ern Industry. ------ Truck Farming. We giro below figures taken from an interview by a Constitution cor¬ respondent with a leading truck farmer near Valdosta' What farmer in Georgia or Flordia can mako a better showing than this? Let us recapitulate and see what Mr. MeRea makes annually on his truck farm. To begin he has 100 acres iu melons, from which be gets sixty car loads. Each car nets him $150; total $9,000. Two and a half acres in cabbage which net $400 per acre, equal to $1,000. lie hud three ami half acres in encumbers, net profits $1,050. Five acres iu Irish potatoes return him $750. To al in round numbers made on truck for one year, $12,000. These figures are not exaggerated, but if anything the esti¬ mate b smaller than ought to be, which can be shown by a reference to Mr. McRee's books.
