THE STOCK LAW.
Its oneration in Coweta County.

Its Operation i'll Coweta County.
Mr.. |. d. Upshaw, of this county, wrote
to Mr. Benjamin Leigh, Of Coweta county,
asking for Information about the stock law
which has been in opera ion in that county
tor the past six months. He did not know
whether Mr. J.. was favorable to the stock
law or not The following reply speaks for
itself:
NEWMAN. GA, July 10th, 1882.
MR.. d. UPsHAw, Cobb county, Ga
Dear Sir: Your letter of July 1st is before
us, and in answer to your questions as to
the workings of the stock law, we viii send
Won a list of names who were in favor OF its
passage on adoption and some who were
opposed.
The stock law works well and has many
advantages connected with it. 1t is labor
saving timber saving, money making and
prevents hard feeling betM cen nelghbors
often caused by the depredations of stock
running at large. 1t saves vast amount
of useless fencing for both land lord and
tenant Much good land can be put in cul
tiyation that would lie out Tenants find
that under the stock law they are not re-
ouired to split rails and repair fencing as
under the old law for only one years priv
ilegc of cultivating the land. Landlords
and tenants unite in preparing pasture
fences Tenants who have no stock have
no fencing to do under the new law, but un-
der the old law they were required to split
rails and do up fences around their crops
for only one year s use. SO this is decd
ed advantage in favor Of the tenants. There
has not arisen any law suits In the county
this year on account OF stock trespasslng
upon any one There has been no hard
feelings betN cen neighbors on account OF
stock. but harmony and peace. NO one has
| been oppressed, nor can be, under the oper-
atoms of the stock law. The colored popu
lation would not have the law altered or
changed back, for now instead Of splitting
rails to do up fencing they can be hireing
about making something for themselves
and families The stock law has improved
the stock, particularly the cattle. Our PEG
pie are now raising good blooded stock
| MANY non landhOlders who was opposed to
| the law would not have it changed. The
law works like charm.
Yours respectfully,
BENJAMIN LEIGH,
j. p. REESE
We undersigned citizens do certify that
the above letter is a true statement of the
workings of the stock law in this (Coweta)

A Chance for You.

Gonzales lTexas) Inquirer
A few neighborly, kind. hearted
citizens will transform any village
into an earthly paradise. Selfish
ness is apt to color even our
thoughts, and he who begrudges
kind words and pleasant smiles is
miser. The happiness aud comfort
of each individual member of socie-
ty is so thoroughly dependent on
the bearing and disposition of his
neighbors that it becomes at once
the duty, as it is the pleasure, of
each person to strive to contribute
his quota of generous feelings and
considerate actions to be the common
fund of human happiness.
To be pleasant, ncighborly, good
natured is not necessarily connected
with an outlay of money; sympa-
thetic look andan encouraging word,
will often accomplish a far higher
mission than dollar bill could hope
to reach. A hearty shaking of the
hand and frank "good morning, sir,n
a kindly feeling that the clink ofsil-
yer dollars would quickly dissipate.
One who is suffering from, or with
ing under misfortune, receives vast
~ more comfort from neighbours
kindly offices and generous sympa-
thies than any peculiar gift could
bestow. Society is held together by
the mutual forbearance of its mem
bers. Did each one assert his right
BY physical force, instead of mutual
forbearance and consideration for
the rights of others, cities, towns
and neighborhoods would be impos
sible, since peace could only be pro-
cured by widely separating the con-
tending factions.
Aside from satisfying and elevat-
ing influence of neighb0rly acts of
kindness and social enjoyment; aside
from the quiet, peaceful atmosphere
of unselfsh, self sacrificing colnmu-
nifty, such qualities hare a mercena-
ry value. Value of real estate, de-
STABILITY of certain localities for
residence, depend largely upon the
reputation of community for gen.
erous and commendable neighborly
qualities, and even public spirit, as
asserted in good schools and
churches, has its origin in an en-
larged neighborly feeling, a desire to
see all about us the happy comforts
and inestimable blessings of happy,
pleasant homes.
