LOUISA COUNTY, january %, 1874.
~ Among the most important bills yet intro
troduced III tie Legislature Of the present
session are those referring to pulling and
leaving down fences, and leaving open gates,
aud repeating the present fence law. The
writer lives in II community Of farmers, and
bears what they say, aud knows what they
experience Of the unnecessary trouble and
expense attending the effort to be law
abiding "fencers," and would venture to
assert that there is not one Lawful fence in
twenty in the county.
At Il recent meeting Of the Green Springs
Farmers Club a committee was appointed TO
prepare resolutions for consideration at the
next upon the "leEce question" The tax
imposed in keeping up fences under the
present law is too intolerable to be borne for
the benefits derived in Il wholly agricultural
community. We trust that the Legislature
will render useless all resolutions, petitions,
etc., upon this question by repeating at once
Gf it can be lawfully done) the present fence
law, and enacting hat all animals shall be
restrained by their owners from running at
large to the detriment Of crops, without The
loss of time in submitting it to township or
county vote. It's a pressing necessity.
