Alica McFall.

Mai. j. B. Stacy has sold to Mr..
F. G. Buford his fine thoroughbred
mare, Alice McFall. She was
sired by Jack Malone; LIST dam
Harriet Davis by Commodore; End,
Sallie Priam by imp. Priam; Srd,
Mary Hood by Robin Hood; 4th.
dam by Stakeholder; 9th, Red Char
lotte by Old Timoleon; and on back
as far as you please.
1t will thus be seen that Alice be-
longs t. the most fashionable and
renowned breed Of horses in this OIL
any other country. Maj. Stacy
having lately purchased an import
ed PercheTon stallion, will turn his
attention TO the breeding OF horses
of all work. This is q rare oppor-
tunity for our farmers to breed 8
character of horses that is greatly
needed in our county, and we have
no doubt that Maj. Stacy will rear

can hardly fail to produce large
handsome horses, which will be yer,
serviceable and always bring remu
lucrative prices.

Snrinr Sale.

The Board o; Directors of the Giles
County A, M. d. L. S. Association
met IN the Office of Secretary Sta
cy on last Saturday and resolved
TO re-institute the sale of stock I'm
der the auspices of that Associa-
ton. The sale is to take place in
the spring and the exact date will be
fixed at the next meeting of the
Board. which will convene on Sat-
urday, March 9Th. 1t was further
ordered that the Secretary open his
books at once and that ali entries
for stock to be sold should Re
made before March 5th, the
day for the meeting of the Board.
Our stock men, and the people
generally, are to be congratulated
upon the resuscitation of these
sales, and it behooyes US all to
lend the Board every aid that they
may be put upon a sure and per-
manent basis. The sale last year
fell through on account of the de
lay of stock men in entering their
stock. Some of them came in at
ter the day fixed for entering and
we're of course shut out, and SO
many of them delayed thus that
the Board deemed it wiser to have
no sale at all. 1t should be borne
in mind by all that the last day up
on which they can enter is March
9th. The Secretary has to close
his books then in order to get up
the catalogue and announcement of
sale. There is perhaps more mon
ey in raising fine stock than in
raising cotton. This would sui ely
be true if our farmers and stock
raisers would foster literally these
enterprises that look to the up
building OF onr stock interests. If
the people would see to it that
these catalogues are always filled
with good stock, it you'd soon
make of Giles county a central
stock market and the effect would
be the ultimate upbuiding of a
trade that would be of immense
profit to US. There is little use,
however, in arguing thus upon a !
question that is SO utterly one
sided. Our farmers will stand |
greatly in their own light if they |
do not at once set about selecting |
some stock to sell, and then go i'm |
mediately to Maj. Stacy and enter
it for sale. You will thus soon
build up an institution that will en-
able you to improve your stock and |
realize fancy prices for that you
have to sell.

An article in the CITIZEN last
week may be construed as a reflec-
ton upon one Of the best and braV
est men Pulaski ever loved to claim
as her son. The article was upon
Mr.. Ed. r. Sumpter's control of
Antoinette Hall, and seemed to
leave the idea that its management
had beeu somewhat loose before.
Such was not the idea of the writer.
We intended TO leave the impress
sion that it was an advantage TO
Pulaski to have its management at
home rather than in Nashville, where
it's proprietor, DR.. Ordway, resides.
The Hall has been well and success
fully managed in the past by Mr..
A. j. Ballentine, Mr.. l. M. Lasseter,
and last by Mr.. Jno. B. Kennedy.
These are all wide awake men and
our praise might have applied to
them equally as we'll when they as
sumed its control.
