be the very key tosuccessful farming:
but having the farms fenced will in no
wise prevent us bdTEding stale for cat.
tie, plowing deep and manuring we'll,
and when Our cattle are running in
the range we can very easily pen them
ut night and all the manure saved in
this way will be clear gain SO far as
our farms are concerned. Every farm
or who has tried flock of sheep in a
pasture for few years, knows the
disasterous result, After they have
been kept on o pasture for two or
three years, without being changed
they take the "rot7 and die "instan, ,
ter" Iknow the people of this por,
ton of Pickens County are in a'"poor
fix" just now to adopt tho :Fno fence''
law, having no clover fields, no mead
ows, no grass of any kind except the
native old field sedge, which will not
stand continued pastnrage longer than
three years. I think the first neces.
sary step to be taken in the matter il
to SEQ what we can do towards max
Ing good pastures, let us try clover,
grasses, otc., and see how they grow
on our soil. am 6esirous 10 see our
people wako up to the Importance Of
these things, to see every good farm
or have his clover patch, his few acres
OF we'll set gras, both for hay and
pasture; to see agriculture moro di-
versified, and consequently more PROS
porous; to see the suicidal policy of
planting the same piece of land in
cotton or corn for twenty years at q
strst set aside, and moro econom>
ical rotation policy adopted. When
we find by actual experience that We
can succeed in growing the necessary
grasses, clover, ETC., and get our pas
lures ready, then as a matter of course
we can easily dispense with the fences
arourd our farms. But until we get
these arrangements made we had bet~
ter, in my judgment, hold on to the
old system. In conclusion, Mr.. Ed
itor, allow me to say, for my own
township, l do not think we will be
likely to adopt the fence law in less
time than n scoro of years; but it may
be practicable for somo of the lower
townships to adopt it sooner, where
the people are moro thickly settled
and timber not so plenty; but at pres
ent doubt if any portion OF the
County is ready for the change.

MIR. II. r. STEvENs-Dear Sir: l will m ost
cheerfully add my testimony to the great
number you have already received in favor
of your great and good medicine, Vegetine,
for l do not think enough can be said in its
praise; for was troubled over thirty years
with that dreadful disease, Catarrh, and had
such bad coughing spells that it would seem
as though l could never breathe any more,
and Vegeine has cured m.; and do feel to
thank God all the time that there is 80 good
q medicine az Vegetine; and also think il
one of the best medicines for coughs, and
weak, sinking feelings at the stomach and
advise everybody to take the Vegetine, for
can assure them it is one of the best medi
cines that ever was. Mrs. l.. GORE,

Mr.. EDITORIALS the fence law secms
to bo an interesting SUBJECT at present
and indeed it is ut u II times with farm.
ers, desire little space in your
columns, TO show more fully some of
the causes why l do not think it will
suit the farmers Of this mountainous
country 70 adopt the "no fence" law.
In the upper townships in this County
there is, according to my estimation,
about three tonrths of the land in ori-
ginal forest, which affords o more
bountiful supply OF pasturage for all
kinds of stock than any enclosed pass
turee that can be practically adopted
At least for few years, while grea +
portion of these lands were 80 framed
by nature as to never be cultivated
to advantage; yet they afford veiy
good pasturage both summer and
winter. There are q great many
farmers living in the valleys on thoee
mountain streams who have vory lit
tie up~land enclosed, consequently
they have no land to spare tor q pass
ture. The introduction of clover or
some good substantial pasture grass
would materially change the condi.
tion OF affairs IN this country; but that
still awaits development, not having
been successfully tried. The common
sedge grass that grows on old worn
out fields, will make tolerably good
spring pasture for q tew years, but
fails in hot dry summer weather. Il
think the people OF Pickens County
had better hold on to tho old fence
law, and more especially the upper
portion. whore timber is not scarce and
the natural range is tar better than
any we have as yet substituted. So
far % regards the manunng and deep
cultivation Of the soil I heartily agree
with Mr.. McMahan, and believe IL 70

beautiful Garnett Springs, where thcre
is Q large hotel, built for the benefit OF
those who visit the springs. When
we reached Toccoa, it not being train
time, we were invited by that kind
and perfect gentleman, Mr. Daven-
port, the proprietor of the Toccoa
Hotel, to rest with him. A pleasant
resting place it was, indeed. There
we were most delightfully."- entertained
with delicious music by Mr. II. and
Mics d. Everything passed of 30
far quietly. But now little distur.
banco occurred, of course by that arch
fiend intemperance. Messrs A. and
D., who had fuss at Central, renew~
ed the feud at Foccoa, which resulted
in D's getting his thumb almost torn
of while warding off q blow with a
chair.
The hours for returning having at
length arrived, we seated ourselves in
the coaches and soon were eteaming
away homeward. The time returning
was spent pleasantly in conversation
on the enioyments of the day. Some
of US enjoyed ourselves in swinging
from steps of tho coaches, catching the
cool breeze, and better than that, the
sweet smiles from tho fair faces that
peeped from the windows But there
is "never o sweet without it's bitter
and we got our share of tho bitter in
that operation, for we got our eyes
full of smoke and cinders from the en-
gine, which "caused the tears to rush
unbidden" into our eyes. We felt
sure,that our eyes looked as if we had
lost our sweethearts, or had been on q
"double and twisted bender" On
our way, after we had crossed Seneca
river, we were saluted by showers OF
fruit, &C., from the ladies gathered on
the roadside, but were not so tortu>
nate as to get them. Yes, one fellow
did get one on his head, which knock
ed off his cap, and he had to jump of
and get it and walk to Central. We
all arrived safely at Central at 7 p. NJ.
Thinking that we had just as well
"make day of it" as we had com>
menced early, we concluded to have
a party ut night, to finish off on. Mr..
r., whose kindness in that line, we
must admire, and heartily thank him
for, allowed US the privilege of meet
ing at his house. There we spent
several hours very pleasantly. Our
esteemed friend, Prof. Douthit, hap
pened to DO there, on his way to Eas-
ley. Some of us left tho dancing
room, and gcing to the room where
the Prof, with his organ was, we
pursuaded him to give us some splen-
did music. Among others, we liked
the "Home Sweet Home," and the
"Old School House" bent. AS we sat
listening, foods of sweet tender Nom.
ories came thronging our hearts with
thrilling echoes. Thoughts of joyous
childhood, OF hopeful youth, of pleas
ant school days that are gone, gone,
forever, came rushing over our hearts
with such forco, that we were almost
overwhelmed. Even now the
thoughts como 80 that I must stop
and say farewell. Rover.

Of lost vigor, a means of arresting premature
