How Can We Expect Any Improve
ment?


What has become Of our County
Agricultural Society? 1t did not
meet on last salesday.? Has it already
fallen through? Read this from the
Augusta correspondent Of the NcaOs
and Courier, and take fresh courage {:
Some years ago an agricultural so.
ciety was organized in Richmond
County. It enjoyed precarioua ex-
istence with occasional NANTES atoms
of activity, but was in fair'way to
90 to pieces when several energetic
Q gentlemen took hold Of it and infused
new life into it. "How can we expect
any improvement in our farming
methods" said they, "if we don't
come together once in while and dis
cuss the matter in the light Of our
own experience and that of others ?"
The society, thus rejuvenated. has
been a source of much pleasure and
profit to the farmers of the county.
It has been noted that there is de-
cided Improvement in agriculture.
Progressive ideas have been adopted
and there is more goaheadativeness
about everybody. The adoption of
the Stock law was the direct result
of the revival of this society, Some
people in the "piney woods" abused
the society roundly for the part it
took in the matter, but they will soon
aee that the society was right and
they were wrong. The society has
recently purchased a tract OF land
near Augusta, on which it proposes to
build pretty clubhouse where it
can hold it's meetings and give its
fortnightly dinners. 1t is growing IN
strength and popularity and !, d will be- a
great thing for Richmond County.

neither orator made any reference to
the fact that since the commencement

comparative oblivion, and made a

Ominous News from Europe.

The European news is very omi-
nous. There is no improvement IN
the Anglo-Russian relations, and it
seems certain that the two countries
are on the verge of great conflict.
Russia wishes Mr.. Gladstone to Say

Afghanistan with arms and ammuni-
ton The general officers and chiefs
held a consultation of war in st. Pc.
tersbur1g last week. and they urged
an,immediate advance upon Herat,
the capital of Afghanistan. This OF
course means war. In the meantime
Bismarck cfers to act as mediator.
But in London there is far greater
excitement than in st. Petersburg
and scarcely a hope that war will be
averted. The feeling is intense, and
the Queen is 80 anxious that her Gov
ernment should take steps to uphold
British rights in the East that she has
ordered cat both the Reserves and
the Militia of the kingdom. Prepa'
rations for war have begun in earn
eat. and terrible will be the conflict.
The relations between England and
Germany are still friendly. Mr. Glad

mons:
