Cotton Seed Meal.
As many of our readers have
not been accustomed to feeding cotton
seed nieal to their cows and other
stock, a word on this subject may be
of interest. The town cow comes in
for a liberal share of cotton seed meal.
We are not able to say whether far
mers generally willfeed much to them
since they may have enough home
raised food. It will not be amiss how
ever to give them meal.
J t is best, in feeding cotton seed meal,
to mix it with the meal and give it iu
in a small quail tit y at a time;one quart
is enough at one feed, mixed with the
other feed. All sorts of fine faed are
given more economically when mixed
with cut hay or corn fodder, wetted,
Cotton seed meal should not be given
to a calf. It is too rich and indigesti
ble. Bran and corn meal are better.
All sorts of meal are more profitably
fed to any any animal when ground a
fine as possible.
vV Congratulation.
Our worthy contemporary the Macon
Telegraphed and Messenger yesterday
contained the following j
“The Barnesville daily Gazette is iu
hand. As it comes without announce
ment, we are unable to tell whether or
not the daily issue will be kept up, If
it is to be issued daily hereafter, we
congratulate our contemporary. ”
Since issuing the first copy. Wed
nesday, a number of our citizens have
warmly urged continuance. Our in
tention in publishing the daily this
week was to help the firemen in their
fair and festival. We will at once 'can
vass the community and if we can get a
sufficient number of names as subscri
bers, we will resume publication and
continue the daily and- weekly. Those
of our citizens who feel an finterest in
thejprogress and prosperity of J Barnes-:
vill have an interest in this matter and
we must find out whether there is .suffi
cient desire for the daily before we can
assure our contemporary whether it
will he continued. We thank you how
ever for the compliment bestowed in
the congratulation.

The many friends of Col. S, D. Irvin
who moved from Milner to Atlanta,
but a few months since will sympath
ize very greatly with him in his present
affliction, A special telegram to the
Macon Telegraph of the 14tli inst has
the following:
Albany, Ga., March 13.—Our town
was stalled about 2, o’clock by the re.
port that Mr. S. D. Irvin, Jr., son of
Col. Irvin, of At lam a, was found dead
in a fodder loft cn the north side of
Cook and Irvin’s warehouse, in this
city. Mr. Irvin was found lying on
his back, his feet doubled under him,
and a pistol lying across his breast
liis overcoat, dress coat and vest were
open, and it is presumed he held them
back and placing the pistol over his
heart fired, as none of the garments
mentioned were perforated by the Bul
let. The ball entered about half an
inch above the left nipple, and ranged
upward through the heart. No cause
is assigned for the rash, r act, but the
general supposition is that the deceased
was laboring under a fit of,mental aber
ration. He was a member of the ware
house firm of Cook & Irvin, and was
beloved and esteemed by all who knew
him, The coroners jury rendered a
verdict that the deceased came to his
deatli by a pistol shot wound through
the heart by his own hands.

John T. Hunt Ear/., President:
Dear Sir— Your letter informing
me of the honor conferred on me by

been received. Please make my grace
ful acknowledgements and as
sure the members of the compa
ny th at their kind consideration is

expression of the regard with which I
am gentlemen of the Jeff Davis Fire
company.
Respectfully and Faithfully Yours,
Jefferson Davis.

FAIR AND FESTIVAL.
BY JEFF DAVIS FIKE COMP’Y.
Grand Success and Everybody In
Barnesville Happy.
According to the prearranged pro
gramme the Fair was to have closed
last night. There were many things
yet unsold, and among them some of
the most costly and highly appreciat
ed. The hall was soon crowded to its
utmost capacity, and a babel of tongues
clattered away till near the we sma’
hours. It was the Thomaston night,
and we are pleased to note that quite a
handsome delegation put in their ap
pearance. Gordon Institute turned out
en masse to enjoy the crowded hall and
see the sights.
We have never seen in any public en
terprise more constant, laborious ef
forts, bewitching appeals and zealous
determination than the ladies of the
several committees displayed through
the entire week. Beginning Monday
morning they arranged in Chesterfield
taste and oriental beauty the counters
foi vending their wares. Night and
day throughout the week have their
hearts aDdhands been given to the suc
cess of the enter ; is: We can specify
no one, but al! uve given the week to
converting t .u various donations which
have been contributed into money. So
far as we have been able to get the
names of the donors and their contribu
tions the Gazette has given them to the
public. If any have been omitted it
has been because we knew not of them.
“Come again,” say the young ladies
of the Oyster table.
Col. J. J. Rogers last night generous
ly donated the firemen a half car load
of lumber for the engine house.
A grand raid was made on the cigar
table night before last after our repor
ter left the ini! and the entire stock
was sold.
We approached Miss Belle Mitchell
for consolation last night and she
shrunk back with the unexpected utter
ance, “Don't ask me to take a chance.’
A special attraction at the hall last
night was the music by the string
band. The French harp accompani
ment gave it a mellow sweetness sur
passed only by angel sighs.
We were requested last night to state
that the ladies from the country around
were very desirous of attending the
fair, but could not on account of the
rains.
Among the active workers for the
firemen at the hall every night has been
Mr. li. B. Goodwyn. lie has been
quite enterprising and liberal both in
exertion and with his money.
Mr. T. B. Lyon lias been on the alert
for every stray dollar for the firemen.
He has assaulted the pocket book of eve.
ry drummer who has been in town this
week every time bringing the kale seed.
The receipts last night were very
good,but might have been better but for
the immense crowd. Tlie committee
seeing that the article could not possi
bly be disposed of, decided to adjourn
to Tuesday night, when everything will
be sold.
Sweet is the remembrance of friends.
When we left tlie hall and dropped in
to the sanctum to record the results of
the night, we found a treat from Mr
and Mrs. C. W. Brown, in the shape of
delicious Florida fruits and (lowers.
Thanks for the delicious midnight re
past.

may be mentioned,“How we live in New

and tlie admirable serial “The Shores
of Nothing.’’ The various departments
contain much that is useful, and tlie il

It now appears that the dynamite
fiend is prospering on American soil,
Recently an attempt to blow up simul
taneously three of the most important
railroad stations in London, glnvesti
gation shows that tlie plot originated
in America. The English press are
clamorous for action on the part of our
government in regard to tlie matter.
There are reports of a call for a con
vention to be held consisting of all men
in favor of tariff reform, civil service
reform, and no more silver coinage !to
organize anew Liberal party and nom
inate a President and vice President.
It will amount to about as much as
the other movements to start liberal
parties have done.

faith. He has such faith in Dr. Bosan

is in need of a medicine of this kind.
