The Buffalo Gnats.
Complaints are pouring in from all the
surrounding counties of the fearful destruc-
| ZION Of horses and mules by buffalo gnats
Many small planters, especially oOlOred
! ones. are ruined by having their only horses
! or mules killed and being unablL to replace
them at a time when they are SO badly
needed.
The Ledger publishes a letter from a
planter near Macon, Fayette county, which
| says: Not less than 200 horses and mules
have died in the past three days within ten
| miles Of this place. l went down to nv
farm yesterday, distant six miles, and
counted thirty y-seven dead ON tho way. i
have lost four on my farm, and DR.. Hunter
i've; while some planters here lost as high
as thirty head. 1t looks like starvation to
| a people without money. Some of the
farmers will be compelled to turn out part
| OF the crop planted, AS they have no money
| to replace the stock"
