The subject OF farm drainage is receiving
unusual attention in some of the States In
one county of West Virginia there are said
to be over 300, 900 feet of tile drains. which
have improved the land many fold beyond
the cost of the work. The land lies along
the Kanawha and much of it was almost val
ueless until brought into productiveness by
artificial drainage. In Ohio and Indiana the
good results of money expended in this way
are everywhere seen. Mr.. G. NJ. Harrison,
at recent meeting of the Ohio Drainage as
sociation, said that the profit on good drain
age is from 25 to 100 per cent. a year. He
spoke of one county in Indiana where the
yield of wheat had been increased by drain
ing from nine and half bushels to nineteen
bushels, and from thirty one bushels of corn
to seventy -one. At the same time there was
fully 60 per cent. decrease in malarial dis
eases. Among the good results of drainage
Mr. Harrison said it is of inca!culable bene-
fit to the public roads, it does away with
much of the mud about the farm buildings,
and, most important of all perhaps, it drives
away mortgages from farming community

The ST. Louis Manual Training school is
an interesting and Instructive experiment.
The first class of twenty-eight is about COM
pleting the three years course. They have
made three steam engines, doing all the work
from the drawings to the final touch. This
education of the hands has not been ACCOM-
plished at the sacrifice of the education OF
the head, as only two hours Of each day are
devoted to manual labor. The course ex-
tends over three years, IN which time they
become skilled draughtsmen and gain 8

A bill to increase the pay of the members
of the Massachusetts legislature from $500,
as now provided by law, to $3.50 is pending.
The arguments used in its favor are that the
legal compensation is inadequate, that it is
less than in some other States, and that the
session has been longer than usual and the
pay yshould be in proportion. It is probable
that if this salary grab" getsl the approval
of the legislature the beloved governor of
Massachusetts will veto it.

Walker, F. W. Bird, Charles Francis Adams,

r. FL. Lee and John s. Farlow. The new
departure was announced on Sunday.
On Tuesday the Boston Herald thought
it only fair to say that neither
its editor, Mr.. Haskell, nor Gem
eral Francis A. Walker should be
considered as taking part in the vote in favor
of an independent State convention" And
Mr.. Bird also denies that he is member Of
the party. He says that he knew nothing of
its formation until he read an account of it
in newspaper. Thus fades another great
movement"

Many of the lots were bought up

Chasing a Horse Thief.

The Eufaula Bulletin says:
Officer James left here on Tues
day last in company with Dr. W.
w. Farnum, Of Dawson, Ga, to
head off and capture a horse thief
somewhere between here and
Montgomery. A man by the
name of Culp had stolen a horse
from Mr. Prince, Of Americus, Ga,
and coming down to Dawson, he
then stole buggy from DR. Far
num- The thief's wife was
aboard the train, on Tuesday, and
DIR. Farnum telegraphed that fact
to the sheriff here, telling him to
be at the train to make an arrest,
thinking that the thief might join
his wife at some point on the
road. But he failed to do so, aud
the sheriff and Doctor then deter
mined to board the train for
Montgomery and keep an eye on
the woman. She tried to hide
from the gentlemen at Montgome-
ry, for she seemed to know that
she was being watched; but find
ing that she could not conceal
herself, she went to the ticket
Office of the South and North
road, and she asked how far she
could run up the road before get
ting to point at which she could
leave the train. She was told,
twenty miles, but that If she want
ed hotel accommodations, she
would have to 60 on to Verbena
She therefore bought a ticket to
that point. The Doctor and sher-
iff thereupon decided that the thief
must be in Montgomery or would
be very soon, as the woman evil
IDENTIFY desired to stop there or
near by. SO, when the train ar
rived, the woman boarded it and
the Doctor went aboard, also, to
see whore she would seat herself,
and to keep an eye upon her to the
last moment, but the train moved
off quickly and before the Doctor
could leave it, and he proba-
bly, then determined to
still shadow the woman.
Sheriff James awaited the arrival
Of the next train, hoping to hear
something from the Doctor, but as
! he did not return and sent back nc
word, the officer informed a Mont
gomery official Of the affair anC
took the train for home, and as We
has heard nothing further Of tht
matter. The thief evidentl,
drove through the country from
Dawson to Lumpkin, thence t,
Florence or Columbus, and wa
heading for Montgomery where b
expected to meet his wife. TIL
chances are that he viii be cap
tured,

Mr.. j. FL. Nelms, of this county,
relates a circumstance we. think
worthy of mention. He saws
that he has an old turkey hen that
Matched out and raised twelve
young turkeys in the early sum-
mer, When these were weaned,
she strayed off and was not seen
any more for several months. So
long was she absent that he sup
posed she was dead, but finally
she reappeared upon the scene
bringing with her four youg tur-
keys, seven chickens and twenty
five guineas. Mr.. Nelms states
that she has also raised all Of this
last brood. A popularity about
these young fowls is that they
won't associate with any others on
the lot. He also states that one Of
the chickens makes a noise so
much like a guinea that the sound
can not be distinguished from that
made by guinea. The question
is where had the old turkey been
and where did she get her last
named multifarious brood?

Our Artesian Well.


The artesian we'll is now the
principle scene Of attraction. It
would seem from the crowds gath
erred around the we'll that a first
class show was in process of exhi-
Ibition. The truth is, the citizens
of Dawson have never been so full
ly determined to have a well as
now. With one accord, they en-
courage and cheer the workers at
every prospect of success. The
well is now SIS feet deep, and the
indications favorable for reaching
water almost any hour. We con-
tidently expect a success of the
present well, and it may be that
the next issue Of the Journal will
carry the joyful tidings abroad.

We understand from our
guano agents that the guano COM
panies have determined not
to allow any more guano
sold on commission. In the fu-
ture our local dealers will be
forced to buy the guano straight,
Just as they buy goods, provision,
etc. This will necessitate very
rigid and prudential arrangements
upon the part Of our home dealers
and as a matter of course only the
very best men will be able to get
it under this new order of dealing.
Farmers who bought guano the
present year and failed to pay fol
it will hardly be able to get it at
all.

that Capt. A. G. Bell, of Americus,
claims to have made 1855. On wa

If our memory is not badly at

ed at one time during the summer
in trying to decry the watermelon

or failure. How will the genial
Captain explain this seeming con
trariety?

OF the finest porkers around at

ed in this country. It's worth the

round and see them.

Judging from a late editorial in
the News and Advertiser, the
farmers in the vicinity of Albany
are in very Strengthened eircum-

merchants to be lenient with them
and hopes by another year that
their surroundings will be greatly
improved. We have no doubt
where a man will act honestly and
let his creditors see that he is dis
posed to do what is right that he
will be extended all the leniency
that his case merits. But, upon
the other hand, if a man owes you
and begins to shy and dodge, the
very best thing that canbe done IS
to go for that fellow at once, tor
he don't intend to pay you.
