Dorset Sheep.

a few weeks ago we published
short account OF The Dorset sheep,
and soon afterW ards we received 50
many inquiries from different peo-
Pile concerning them that we wrote
to a friend We knew had a fire flock,
TO tell us more about them. The fol-
lowing letter from him will be read
with interest by our readers:
"HOur letter of recent date is before
me, and | mail you Dorset Horn ciTcu-
lar, W hich will give you full parJicu-
lars of this famous breed OF sheep,
which l am free to say are the grandest,
and most profitable breed OF sheep in
existence.
Last winter 1O2 imported ewes suck
led lS6 lambs. Many OF the lambs
weighed one hundred pounus when
four months old. The ewes that LANDED
last December were bred at once and
all but two dropped lambs in May and
June.

are classed in England. l have sent
them all over the United States, and
wherever sent, they have given uni
versal satisfaction. Those that have
tested their merits all come back for
the second lot.
81 can heartily recommend them as
to their hardness, fecundity and gem
eral utility. Our entire flock clipped an
average of a little over eight pounds OF
wool, which sold in Philadelphia at 80
cents per pound.
81 am free to say that l have never
handled any stock that has given me as
much satisfaction, or that has shown
me as big and quick a return as the
Dorset ewes. We had last Christmas,
over one hundred lambs that were a

YES, THEY ARE COMING.
Look Out for the ExcursionIsts When
the Spring Time Comes.

GAINESVILLE should begin early to
set her house in order and put on her
Sunday clothes and prepare to put
the kettle in The pot, for company is
coming and they will consist of capt
taiists, manufacturers, mechanics
and farmers-all classes. The eXcur-
sion is already partially made up,
and they are coming to see what
kind OF a place GAINESVILLE is, what
kind Of people we are, and what we
have here that is worth developing,
Let Clan ksville be prepared to do
herself proud, as she has heretofore
on all occasions, and there is no
doubt about the result and the con
tinual coming of such people, for we
have nearly everything here that
they expect to find anywhere, and
have in abundance timber, stone, fine
lands, etc, with iron ore enough to
run fifty furnaces. The excursion
will not come until spring, when the
Gracey Woodward company will
have their big furnace in operation,
and then we will have something to
show and something that is going to
astonish the iron making world and
put GAINESVILLE in the lead as regards
cheap facilities for iron making,
The boom is coming, rest assured OF
that, and coming on the first signs of
reviving business. No town in the
South now has brighter future than
GAINESVILLE. We speak knowingly
and understandingly. If Montgon-
cry county can get a move on her
we will soon have one of the wealth
lest counties in the State.
