and some % members present
which is the best attendance in sew.
eral months. This being the occa-
sion of the corn show proposed at
the last meeting, there were eight
entries and every farmer present felt
and expressed regret that he did not
enter his corn. The show was very
creditable and the association felt
gratified at its success. 1t is intend
ed to make these shows perma-
nent feature Of the association.
Every farmer in the county is deep
ly interested in it and should par
ticipate, and they would learn much
to their mutusl advantage. The
following is the result of the
test: The corn was weighed and
counted, then five ears were she'll
ed, the corn accurately weighed and
the five cobs weighed, by commit
tee of seven experienced farmers,
who cast their ballots for first and
then for second premium. There
were three lots that were voted for
for first premium which resulted in
giving the first premium to w. Q.
Carriers corn, second to M. Harwell.
These were very large flint varie-
ty with large cob. Below is tabu

Topic, "How best to winter
stock" was opened by an essay by
w. G. Carter. He sad that it was
important that all stock should be
sheltered in warm quarters; that
the owner should give the feeding
of such stock his own supervision
that nothing but kind treatment
should be tolerated among stock /;
thought that too much corn was
used. He fed ears at a feed to
horses with plenty of hay.
A. NJ. Ezell said he thought the
housing of sheep led to their dis
ease, but housed other stock.
F. M. Cant said he approved the
sheltering of stock but what to win
ter on cheaply was the question.
He found corn too expensive and
asked the relative valne of millet,
clover and sorghum and their cost.
Capt. j. E. Alternately had found
much benefit.",from stabling all his
stock, Including hogs, which he al
ways stabbed in bad weather, never
losing any. He attached much
value to rye for winter pasture;
had recently found sheep did well
on corn.
T. B, Harwell stabbed all stock.
Had sown sorghum broadcast and
found it very fine feed for all kinds
of stock.
S. P. White thought nothing was
injured 80 much as sheep by wet
cold weather; always stabbed sheep
but thought shelters and hay stacks
sufficient for cattle in this climate;
thought there was money lost in
feeding corn to bring cattle to mar
ket in winter except where very
high; preferred to carry through in
medium order and fstten in early
spring and sell on early summer
market. Had known such cattle to
gain 400 pounds in season.
j. H. Burrow put much conf
dence in big hay ricks, but thought
sorghum the coming forage plant,
the key TO winterlng stock cheaply;
had planted a crop the past year in
drills, ploWed twice and it yielded
an immense crop which all kinds of
stock eat with aYidity.

culture, value, ETC." NJ. G. Fitz-

for the fine pig furnished by him as

produced young gentleman with q
higher sense of honor; and none
more worthy of the universal esteem
with which he is regarded. Miss
Alpha from her very childhood has
been a favorite with all who had
the pleasure Of her acquaintance.
Her very many accomplishments of
head and heart. fit her in the high
est sense for the new position she is
to fill-to be a wife. At eight
o'clock q sumptuous repast was
served-it for a king. Mr.. Ed
wards, with a proud consciousness
Of success, leaves on an early train
with his lovely trophy, fer Texas,
their future home. The best
wishes of the entire community will
attend them. The presents were as

Owing to the extreme bad
weather for the past two weeks,
there has been but little stirring
about, rendering news items rather
hard to get up; but nevertheless we
will try, if we can get as many as
one thought together at time, to
find something to say, whether of
interest or not, before we get
through. The frigidity of the
weather for the past week has driv-
en- nearly everything into winter
quarters. Our farmers have done
scarcely nothing this year towards
preparing for another crop on &C.
count of the bad weather.

followed them about a mile when
they reached shallow place, and
then AVIAN in and cut them loose.
They found all but the bed. 1t was
certainly very narrow escape.

AS news items are scaice in the
way of personalities, 1 would say
that the past week has been void Of
that grand continuation Of social
movement that has been so marked
during the holidays. One thing
may be set down as an assurance,
that this life will continue lnde6n-
itely-the large element Of debu-
tantes will keep it going. Bless
their fresh young hearts, everything
is new to them, attractive and nov
ell, and they have no idea that they
can ever by any possibility get
enough of it. 1t is the beautiful
spring time of their existence. In
little while they will be taken one
by one to solace and comfort SEINE
oEe Of the sterner sex. The poets,
who are after all the philosophers,
long ago found out that the greater
part Of the race were made fair To
look upon for the especial behoof of
man, attracting him by their fair
exterior and then enchanting him
forever Sy the beauty Of the limo
cence within.
There was more than one sad
heart at the absence of Miss Carrie
Campbell at Sunday school last
Sunday. The place OF Mr.. Willie

The departure Of Mr.. j. r. Camp
bell and family leaves many sad
hearts, but we will now have a rest

The Free Graded School.

The decision of the supreme
court in favor Of a graded public
school for Pulaski, together with
the recent election of a "Fret
School Board of aldermen, has set
tied beyond peradventure that we
are to have the school. The dis
trict school commissioners have
consented to add the fund at their
disposal to the special fund to be
raised by the new law, and will
turn over to the school board the
money now in the treasury, about
SO, 800, which will enable them to
proceed with the school as soon as
they can secure buildings and
teachers. The special tax levied
last year will be due in February.
and will therefore be available as
soon as it may be needed. The
two funds combined will amount to
about 81, 500 per annum, and this
aaount properly managed will give
Pulaski graded public school sec
ond to none in the south. The
public school fund has heretofore,
in Difference to popular preference,
been distributed among the sever
al schools of the town, and its ben
etits prorated to the pupils thereof,
in open violation of law. This
method of using the fund has been
allowed because the sum was insult
ficieHt to defray the expenses of an
independent school of the charac-
ter desired. Under the new law
the commissioners are enabled to
legally utilize this money in sup
plementing the special fund. We
have heard Of no objection to this
arrangement, and lit will probably
meet with the same popular APPROX
al accorded to the distribution plan,
which was open to the very seri-
Gus objection of illegality. Some
fear has been expressed that tn
efforts of the board will be ham
pered by the i'll will of those who
opposed the Inauguration of the new
system. This fear is certainly un-
founded. Some of them are a lit
tie embittered by defeat, vnd at
present are disposed to abuse the
SYSTEM but they are not insene,
and it is not to be supposed they
will be willing to see the money
wasted after'they pay it. AdYo-
Gates and opponents alike will be
anxious to see the town derive the
fullest possible benefit from the
large school fund now at our dis
pesal. II may even be hoped that
the opponents of the system will
become its Warmest advocate when
they see the monsy they pay in
taxes returning four-fold in rents,
and otherwise. This has been the
history of the system elsewhere.

Something Good.

Mr.. Halves, professor of elocution
in the Southern Baptist Theologi-
cal Seminary at Louisville, KY, has
been engaged TO give a humorous
and dramatic recital at the Opera
House Thursday night, Jan. 2Sth.
He is highly recommended and
endorsed by such men as DIR.
Rroadus and Drs. Witherspoon and
Guerrant and by the press of Ken
lucky and Tennessee. The Courier
Journal says; "There are few hui
morists on the platform Who-excel
Mr.. Halves"
The ladies society of the Presby-
terrain church have engaged Mr..
Halves to give this entertainment
and they feel assured that the pub
lie will be more than repaid for the
small outlay of a quarter which il
will cost to hear him. Our advice
to everybody is to be at the hall
next Thursday night.
