BORON "A horse. belonging to r. j.
Morse, was left standing under a shed at
Waterbury Street, one day last week,
when it got loose, in some way, and ran
toward home at u furious rate. After
running a mile or SO, some one attempted
to stop it, when it jumped a high picket
fence aud ran into Mr.Totin's yard where
they succeeded in catching it. The lum-
Der wagon to which he was attuched was
found a complete wreck.
AS DR.. Bromley Of Richmond was on
his way to visit a patient at Bolton, his

The Fence Question.

The fence question, in many portions
of the State, Is becoming topic Of Sc
rious consideration. Fencing material IS
fast becoming alarmingly scarce in many
counties, and the labor for splitting and
hauling almost impossible to obtain,
leaving many tracts of good farming
land untitled, as new fences cannot be
made, where the old have decayed, and
thus leave crops unprotected
There Is a serious need for change IN
the fencing system, for as long as far
mers are compelled to protect their crops
at an annually increasing outlay of labor,
and expense, against the depredations OF
few half-starved and rowing cattle,
whose actual value for beef, or as milk
producers. would not average ten dollars
per head, 50 long will agricultural prog
ress be retarded, and farming remain a
poorly remunerative vocation.
II is estimated that in Mississippi
alone, there is lost, annually, by the
depredations of stock upon the crops al
amount equal to SIS, 900, 900. Would II
not be we'll for the farmers to take this
matter in hand, and endeavor to save
a portion of this vast sum to exc out the
profits of the farm.-Farmer's Nindica

Report Of tI.e Grand Jury.

THE following Report Of the Grand
Jury OF the Circuit Court, was presented on
the fourth day OF the December Term, De

Hjn1- Go, jackson, Miss, Dec, 1873 :
n Hon. Gee T. Brown
The Grand Jury drawn and impanncled
for the December Term OF the Circuit Court
OF rhe First District Of Hines county re-
=pecf uIly report a follows: IL majoity
ct tine Grand jury. acting under a mi con
~tructi1n Of your IiOnors instructions. Wis
tied the In-aue Asylum, were most courte-
ou~iy received. and after making thorough
Inspection OF the internal and external ar
Eangemrnts, came away with the unani-
nous opinion that the arrangements of the
place and It's management were as perfect
"a could be desired.
The Grand jury did not visit the Peniten-
tiarF or any other public institution (for
obvious reasons. Ne have grounds to be-
Iirve now ever. that there are gross mis-
homogeneous al the Penitentiary. but the
evidence which has come before us is of such
"a nature that il is impossible to fix the re
-poasibiity on the guilty party.
We have consumed 4 goo deal of time la
the bribery cases - after diligenF inquiry,
We have been unable to fix upon any one in
particular as guilty of giving or receiving
a bubc. Several Witnesses have been sum
myurd, who, at the time the summOuseS
were issued, and since, were beyond the iu-
ri-diction OF the C"urT, aud we have been
unable % obtain their testimony.
We would further report that we find the
Justices OF the Peace of this District, gene
rally negligent in making their reports as
cribed by law. This negligence, the
jury think. however, is not wilful, but is
due more to neglect of the study OF the
laws Is they are passed.

What the Changers are Doing.

The Farmers Oranges" are constant
ly growing in number. The latest report
of the National, dated Decem Der 10Th,
states that at that time there were through
out the country 9297 subordinate Oranges,
there having been an increase during the
week closing on that date of 24S. The
greatest number of Oranges is in Iowa,
1889. Missouri comes next, with 1899,
and following this State, the next largest
numbers are Illinois, 1913; Indiana 1872,
Kansas 721. These FIVE States, it will
be noticed, have much more than one-half
Of the whole number The adjoining
States, in proportion to their population
have in some cases, smaller relative numss
bers. Thus, Minnesota has 397 Oranges;
Nebraska, 381; Wisconsin, 270; Ohio 249.
and Michigan, 147. These Western
States, representing the Middle and Up
per Mississippi Valley, have in the aggre-
gate Glib Oranges, so that they contain
about tive-sevenths of the entire Order of
Patrons of Husbandry. There is strong
and rapidly increasing development OF
the Order in the South, the leading
States of that section reporting the fol-
lowing number of Oranges: Mississippi,
507; Georgia, 392; Alabama; 326; Ten
nessee, 262; South Carolina, 1914; North
Carolina 12S, and Kentucky and Arkan-
sas each 116. California reports 128;
the New England States IS, there being
none in Connecticut or Rhode Island;
Pennsylvania, 10; New York and New
Jersey each "a, and Maryland, Z. The
aggregate membership of the Oranges on
December 10Th was 697 ,275, of whom
about $50, 900 were voters, the others be-
ing women and persons under age.
