There was never a hero IN this world,

Of true manhood, that n being should

that high schools were not common

portance, as it was believed to involve

was nothing in the laws or constitution

who was here week before last, thus
gives his impressions Of Athens:
On last Monday the Editor Of the
News !cl. on The q. N. train on thc
l.. r. Va. e. Ga. II. Road, and in the
middle Of the afternoon found himself
in the pleasant old town Of Athens,
which unlike its ancient prototype in
nomenclature, sits under hill. The
topography of Athens is puzzle to us.
The railroad runs for many miles on
either side through lovely, level coun-
try, and vet Athens drops from its very
edge down a lovely slope for half n
mile. so that its central aud older por-
tions lie 100 feet below il. The town
contains some pretty structures and to
their beauty tlfey add the virtue of So
idity and durability. The founders OF
the town very wisely reserved com
modious and central square for the
Court House, but we found the Court
House gone, and. like many Of the use.

in former times met aud fraternized

ambitious descendants have resolved TO
have a new one and II is TO eclipse the
former one. The cost Of il is to be
$4,000. We found ourself the guest OF
Rev. Timothy Sulins. who together
with his excellent lady, lavishcd upon
us that sort of hospitality which in

Fence, or NO FenceY

w ANO
In tho Middle and Western Divisions
OF our State this question: is becoming
an important one, and 10 attracting
much attention smong farmers.
The Legislatures Of several Of the
States have already passed laws, pro.
viding that no stock shall run at large.
but that all persons shall take care Of
and feed their own stock, instead Of
turning them loosc 10 depredate upon
the premises aud possessions OF their
neighbors This law seems TO me TO be
right and equitable, although therd
seems TO exist In the public mind an I'm
preston that the grass which grows on
the highways, the commons aud in the
wild woods" is the common property
Of all the inhabitants, and upon which
the stock of all may rightfully be turn.
ed 10 pasture. This impression is ef-
roneous, aud ought to be eradicatcd, as
ii is the cause Of much expense and
many evils. Every ,iss has fec sim.
pie title to his lard, aud TO all its pro.
ducts, and his neighbors havo Just M
good legal light 10 pasture their stock
upon the grass growing on the inside Of
his fields, as they have upon that grow
ing upon his lands on tho outside OF H.
They have no rights there, but are tres
passers whenever they set foot upon
their neighbors soil--and while tho
wild grass is Of little or no consequence,
1t Is serious matter, and very unjust
too, that one farmer should require an!
other TO incur such heavy expense In
rails aud fencing 10 protect himself
against the deprcdations Of his neigh!
bors' half-fcd, rowing, ravenous stock.
The cos. to farmers is cnormous. Who
can cs'imate.the number OF rails now
In use in McMinn county? If we had
law that required all stock 10 be kept
up, or if turned out 10 be herded, then
very little fencing would be required
only snch lands as were used for hasi
ture need to be fenced at all.
A no.fcnce law would DO step iH
the proper direction TO improve our
stock. Almost all farmers keep too
much unproductive stock on hands
from year to year. We ought to have
fewer stock and better stock. No far
mer can improve his own stock until he
adopts the plan Of .kecping II up year
In and year out to protect it from the
wandering scrub and inevitable razor
back. 1t is perfectly useless. and .im-
ply vexation, to purchase improved
breeds Cf cattle and hogs aud turn them
out with the common herdp
The heaviest tax the farmers pay IL
for making and keeping up their fences
and for what purpose, simply and solely
TO protect themselves from the Iepres
dations of each others stock.
Fence, or no fence, is an important
question, and | hope the farmers Of our
Stafo will agiia'e I, uniii some practical
law is adopted on the subject by our
Legislature, thus greatly reducing Tho
expense of farming, and rendering H.
practicable to improve all kinds offarm-
ing stock. j. M. H..

The Danger of the Granaers.


Tie Grand Master OF Patrons Of Hus-
bandry is fully alive TO the danger to
which the order is exposed from the
demagogues who are anxious to join il
for their own selfish purposes. In his
address to the Grand Lodge he remark
ed:
The order has been recognized as one
ofthc great powers Of the land, and the
gates are besieged from ocean to ocean
by hordcs of spectators, demagogues,
small politicians, grain.b buyers, cotton
factors and lawyers, who suddenly dis
cover that they are "interested In agri-
cultural pursuits" but "only asa hawk
is interested in the sparrow"
Unless the Grangers follow the ad-
vice of their Grand Master and keep
themselves from the presence ofthe pro-
fessional politicians, the order will be
short.lived, and will utterly fail to ac-
comp!ish any useful purpose.
