THE DRIVE OF 1888.

1cN0S'llNC StOck journal.
AS the bulk OF the young cattle
have been contracted for the next
spring drive we can form n close csti-
mate of the total number to be 1riv-
en-, the class Of the cattle and their
destination. We estimate the total
number of cattle to 90 up the trail
at 100000 head, of which 10000
will be ycarling steers, $4,000 two
year old steers, and $4,000 three
year old steers and female cattle.
OF the total number driven not more
than 10000 head will be on the
open market. At Dodge and Ogalalla
the other 100000 have been O. will
be sold for ranch purposes. The
prices at which these cattle have
been contracted on the ranches
where they start from varies from.
5000 to $3.50 for yearlings, and
$3.50 to $3.50 for two year old
steers; the three year old steers rul-
ing, ats&yS'and $40. The few female
cattlctG'be driven are nearly all for
ranch purposes and sold at fancy
prices. The demand for two year
old steers has been largely in excess
of the supply, and the entire crop
will, in all probability, be brougl,,
out by the high prices offered. The
demand for young steers for ranch
purposes in the state is greater by
one half than it was last year, owing
partly to the fact that female cattle
are worth as much money on soutlr-
western ranches as they are iii the
north, and are really not for sale.
The tendency to hold on to breeding
stock evidences the fact that south
western ranchmcn prefer to breed
cattle to grow bccvcs, and that for
breeding purposes no country in the
|'vOrld eXcels southwestern Texas,
The small number of three year old
steers to be driven this year shows
that the demand for beef has been
unusually great and that the one
and two year Old steers were driven
out very closely for the past few
Years. While it may be all right "
keep as many breeding cattle as the
country will sustain we think there
IS going to be Just as great profit
to those who hold back their young
steers and let them grow into beef
there are SO few agcd steers in the
southwest that the local demand for
beef viii give holders a good market
for everything fit for use, and the
profit on holding young steers until
they ere ripe, is about as great as in
raising cattle. While we would not
advise breeders TO hold all their
young cattle, we. are satisfied that
the habit OF driving all the young
steers will eventually prove detri.

number Of calves than usual, and
there may not be demand enough tc

the supply, and whenever we grow

SHEPHERD Ooas.-Our readers have
doubtless since childhood heard of the
Scotch shepherd dogs and their wonderful
sagaclsty, (almost amounting to rcason) but
'ew otthem, probably, are aware that these
dogs have been introduced and are now
being used in their favorite work of keeping
sheep. within hundred miles of this place.
Mr. Walter T. McArthur, Of Montgomery
county, who is probably one the largest
sheep owners in Georgia, has for several years
had two of these dogs, which. during that
period, have served him we'll and faithfully
in the care of his flocks. They are so very
Intelligent that at any time they can be
trusted to either watch their charge or to
drive them to or from pasture, no matter
what may be the distance or nature of the
way, command from their master being
all that Is necessary to secure prompt ODE,

different persons, and each particular lot

rated from the others, each of thcs, bunches
being designated by the name of the party
from whom they were purchased. These
dogs can, at any time, be sent far into the
woods for specified bunch, it only being
necessary TO give its name, thus: "The
McClcud shsep," or. .the Nash sheen"
and failure on their part to bring the
missing, is rcckoued among the phenomenal
occurrences. AS matter Of course, these
dogs are of immense service to their owner,
and the gentleman who gave US these facts
says he doesn't believe that $1,000 each
would buy them. So strong is the instinct
in these dogs to watch and keep together
all animals of kind, that three puppies Of
the above mentioned dogs find their chief
enjoyment in driving all the poultry of the
yard in,o some clear space anl keeping
them for hours, rcgal dless of the fact that

Work or BARaocMs NEAR UoMn-
Society Hill, May 19.-Your regular cor
respondent being absent from the State and
just returning finds full Intelligence OF the
recent murder here has no. becu giccn to
the p lbllc; in fact, so tame an account is
given 1t looks as if suppression of facts was
purposely made. After a very thorough in.
Ves'igation it appears Dennis Scott, col
or"d itincrant musician and barber, occu>
pied shop attachedto or near by the drink
ing saloon of Wilson & Cannon, agents.
Scott used this shop as barber shop and
to sleep in, and was sleeping there on
Thursday night, May 3. About II o'clock
that night cries Of Murder" and then
heavy blows, were heard by people who live
near the shop, and afterwards by other per-
SINS who live farther off on the street lead.
ing 10 the PeeDee River Scott called
loudly for help, and said Aaron Evans was
killing him. (This dill not come out at
the inquest, but seems nevertheless to be
truc.) Tracks of two persons wearing
shoes were found leading across the fields
towards the creek where Scots body was
fouud. Scott had no shoes on; his shoes
were found in his shop. All this, together
with the opinion Of the surgcon who made
the post mortem examination, leaves no
doubt but there was most terrible murder
committed right in our midst and the body
carried mile off and thrown into creek
leading into the Pee Dec River. Some of
the persons who heard the crisc informed
the officers, or the intcudant rather, next
day, but no search was made and no effort
made to ascertain the cause Of the alarm,
and it was ten days after the body was
accidentally found, Where were the DO

it amusing to play jokes on women in this
manner. To be frighte Led terribly by per-
son in disguise who leaps out suddenly in the

suddenuess of the attac.s might startle even

mean simply murder. When other chill.

limited knowledge and dormant imagination,
