We are glad to see this direction given to the
Granger enterprise. Il. cohtempllates gen
eral good to the community, and by proper
management will result in the establishment
of market for the sale OF stock for the county
OF Augusta and the adjoining counties, that
will be mutually beneficial to sellers and buyers.
1t will not only facilitate the exchange OF Stock
but will bring the people together, and enable
them to compare opinions and make sugges-
tions. in regard to stock-breeding. that will re-
suit in the Improvement of the breeds, and the
diffusion Of general intelligence among the
friends of the enterprise.
Now let the Changers unite their efforts to
make this movement big success. They have
it in their power to do so, and by SO doiag the
, will confer benefit on themselves anu the en-
