LAFAYETTE, AGRICULTURAL
&~CHANICAL SOCIETY.

AT a meeting of the newly elected direc-
tors Of this society OH Tuesday of last week,
the following officers were elected for the
ensuing year: John Reid, President, I. IL.
BayIiss, Vice President, 1. NJ. McKirk, See
Rotary. d. Il. ireland, Treasurer. We have
no objections to urge against the choice
made by the board. We believe It has acted
with wisdom, that all the men named above
will make active, honest and efficient officers.
but we think that the agricultural Interests OF
the county would have been better consult.
cd, and the uscf illness and the popularity OF
the society promoted by electing to the
board one or two more prominent and inlu.
entail farmers of this vicinity.

not now rest all his glory in this de-
partment, In having the only pure breed Of
game chickens In the county. He has put
more feathers IN his cap by adding to his
poultry yard three turkeys, two hens and a
gobbler,) Of an entirely new breed, They
passed through the city last week in charge
of MIR. Wilson, who purchased them IN the
Cherokee Nation. paying sl7 for the three.
They arc perfectly white and swan-like in
appearance, and in breed are supposed to be
. cross between u crane, peculiar to the eli
mate OF Arizona, aud the common turkey.
They are remarkable for their laying quail
ties, and the great yield of feathers. While
they furnish the highly favored meat Of the
turkey, they arc also good substitutes for
geese. They are picked twice a year, yield
ing sometimes five pounds at = picking. A
brood Of fifteen or twenty will furnish .
feather bed in . year. They have long tai

Fast Driving.-Because men Lire horses

kill them by hard driving. II they have no
regard for the interests Of the proprietors,
they should certainly have some sympathy
for the animals. Chsnslor, Russell 4 Co, have
recently lost two fine horses by this cruel
usagc-one by reckless driving. tho other
by hard riding.
