Pence or no Fence

Editor Morning Net0s: In your issue
of Feb. y, under the head of ''Fence or
no Fence,'' 1 find the following: "The
existing law in Chatham county, and in
the entire State, with the exception of
those counties which have adopted the
fence law, permits the free rowing of stock
over the entire county, and parties who
own crops which they desire to protect
are required to fence them in against in
YasiOn." Now, sir. would you be kind
enough to inform me where l can find the
text of this 'eXisting law" or, better still,
10 publish it, so that it may be known, if
possible, 10 all, as indeed 1t should, being
q matter Of public interest. 1t is very
seldom | ever see a copy OF the News on
the day of its publication, or you would
have received this note some days ago. l
remain yours truly, JAS. CREIGHTON.

the most successful engagement of the
season at the Theatre last night. The ap-
pearance for the first time of Lawrence

tire season, but at the request of a large
number OF friends Manager Mack ar
ranged for him to play The
Spider" last night, leaving the char
acter OF "GeOffry Ware" to be

the characters by both gentlemen were
admirable. Larry" as the cool villain
was enthusiastically received, and as the
unfortunate "GeOffry" Mr.. Doyle was
given nothing less than an ovation. Al
though jumped upon the stage with hardly
a days study, he played the part adj
mirably, and at the close OF the perform

of success at the present time lies In the
old saying that she who goes gently goes
safe, and he who goes safe goes far" This

attempted by any house in this city. This
exhibition will comprise the leading
novelties in EmbrOiderles and Laces. We
shall offer the browning bargains of these
remarkable series, and would respectfully
advise ladies who never invest until they
actually need these goods to examine
them. 1t consists of an immense variety
IN Embroidery, in Null, NainsOok and
Jaconet Insertings and Edgings In all
widths, and in Laces, OrieLtals, Point
Applique, Fedora, Medeci, TorchOn and
Fancy Laces. AS our customers know
what class of goods we keep in this de-

bounced for his arrival here, ana tnat ne
would be unable to come before the 23d.
Mr.. Thompson Immediately telegraphed
to come on that day, and last
night completed the arrangements
tor his visit. The Governor will arrive in
the morning from Atlanta, and will prob
ably be rendered a reception in the after
noon. His wishes will, however, be con-
suited in the matter before any arrange
ments are made. In the evening he will
lecture at Masonic Temple, it being i'm
possible to obtain the theatre on that
night. The subject of his lecture will be
constitutional Prohibition" He will
be in Atlanta next week, and will
lecture before the temperance societies
there. He will alsO take part il tenn
perance reunion. There are few tenn
perance orators that have attained the
prominence of st. John. AS Governor of
Kansas he was the head and front of the
Prohibition party, and his Presidential
candidacy has made him probably the
widest known advocate Of temperance in
the country.
