1--WE a'e pleaeed TO learn that the
mo fence or "atocls" law is hecom-
ing more popular as the people are
able 10 estimate The annual COST Of
pairs to five, ten or twenty miles Of
l.uce. The savings already have had
a good effect and must provoke a

OBJECTION ,arbored against the sock
law is that it takes away the old fan
c;ed right Of rasturing your Ftock
upon the lands Of your ueishbora,
snA eompels you TO feed your own
stock aud prevent it from depredating
upon your neishbor. Is this moi right
and iost?? 1t is said, TOO, that since
tae putting up Of the hogs there has
been less use lor "cuEs" words. The
la lies, Goo bless then) never use
t .ese wogda. bur, in those days ore

Dr. J. MARION SIMS The Atlanta

Southern gentlemen recently. His

probable that Dr.. Sims vii visit the
