Fences.

To the Standard.
We desire to ask the question, what
are fences for? Non.Fencer defines
what they are for according to his
uotion, but we dissent. What would
we do with all our surplus dogtennel
and mullen that grow around our
fences on the out side, blackjack mast,
sedge grass pastures that we could not
use if it were not for our fences? |
am not statistician enough to give the
difference Non.Fencer calls for, but no
doubt he has given the subject some
thought. Would like to see the differ.
ence in print. ] would like to see
"some big changes made" As this
is question of vital importance to the
farmer. Would be glad the STANDARD
would give the use of its columns for
the discussion of the subject by Non.
Fencer, and any others who may
desire to do so. | am satisfied there
has been enough taxes paid for fences
above what it would cost to fence
against ones own stock in this county,
in the last ten yeors to have built good
bridges and turnpike roads all over the
county where worst needed, and no
body been hurt. SO let us have the
discussion. | am sure it would do
good. Our people are splendid on the
"growl," but slow to act in upbullding
what is most needful. Let this ques.
tion be agitated all over the State. Let
old Warren take the lead. 1t is of
vast more Importance to the farmer
and stock growers than all the party
politics combined. What we want is
reform in everything that will tend to
promote the prosperity of the farmer
and build up the agricultural incerests
of the country. We are for change
in the fence law as soon as possible.

g. F. College Entertainments.

The entertainments given by the stu
dents of G. F. College on Wednesday
and Thursday evenings were highly
entertaining and well received by a
large and appreciative audience each
night. The large chapel was well
filled--in fact, crowded, yet all seemed
comfortable and well entertained; even
the little fellows that usually getSleepy
on such occasions did not lose interest
or become weary.
On Wednesday evening the exercises
consisted of music, recitations and cal.
isthenics. The music, conducted by
Miss Mary Reed, the teacher, was good,
well selected and well rendered. The
recitations by the little girls and young
ladies were all good, we'll selected and
well recited, and of such character as
not to become monotonous or tiresome.
But the crowning exercise Of the even.
ing was the competitive drill of Mrs.
Vaughn's class in calisthenics. The
class contains about seveDty-five mem
bers, all we'll drilled. Even the very
small girls are almost perfect in their
movements. The class was divided
into two divisions. The Light Brigade
under the leadership Of Miss Lels
Crump, appeared first, in light uniform
trimmed with red, with military cap
to correspond, and three beautiful ban
ners bearing the name of the brigade
Their various movements, in fact theil
entire performances, were almost per
feet. The Light Brigade retired il
perfect order amidst the hearty applaus,
of the audience. The Mountain City
Guards then appeared with Miss Mag
gie Wallace as their leader, dressed il
red uniform trimmed with black anC
caps to match, with three banners fly
ing, on which was inscribed the nam
Of the brigade. They, too, performed
well, keeping time TO the music as di'
the Light Brigade. The drill wa
splendid, after which the committee o
judges, after highly complimentinI
both brigades, decided in favor of tn
Mountain City Guards. The contes
was very nearly equal, and althoug
