A good deal OF mystery surrounds the
matter, az there were marks ot violence
on his person, which he, being only par

while intoxicated, ia certainly untrue al

whom he visited ct Sweet Home ga,
that he waa not drinking while there
He had about $50 on his person when h,

Dear Sir;-Your favor OF tAe 18th
inst, at hand. In reply to same will say
that my business relations are such that
/ have had during the last ten years
large business with the farmers of this
section of our state, having transactions
each season with more than five hundred
farmers, and have as yet to hear the
first farmer say that the Denny pheas-
ants injure the growing crops, ano my
experience with them has been siat i
anything they area benefit, as theF are
great rustlers for bugs, worms, etc. On
various occasions when ducks aud geese
begin working on the growing grain of
farmers, have been asked to come out
with your gun and dog for the birds are
just destroying my grain," hut no such
glad tidings awaits me as to the Chinese
pheasant. You can rest assured that ii
the pheasant was so destructive to the
farm ers' grain that there would not be SC
many "keep out" notices posted on so
many farms. Yours truly,

to do something for the D'Arcy's. They
have been good friends OF yours He

responded: 'If we could see the ballots
We could fix 1t all right yet" He then
swore that he got out the four ballot

PREs. B. MARSHALL,

Dear Sir Yours of the 18th, inst,
asking my opinion as to whether the
China pheasant, or what is known as the
Denney pheasant are destrustive bird
or not, received. The birds were intro
duced here IN this county by the Hon.
o. n. Denny some years ago, and were
turned out eight miles from my place.
The second year after they were turned
out they made their appearance on my
farm and have been there ever since.
They are bird that increases very fast,
and at first it was thought that they
would be destructive to crops, but think
All close observiDg farmers have long
since given up that idea. A very large
majority Of the farmers here are OF the
opinion now that they are benefit to
their farms, in the way Of destroying
bugs and insects which are more de-
structive to growing crops by far than
the pheasant. l watched them very close
for a number of years and this was the
conclusion that came to. do not think
the farmers OF your eolnty need have any
fears about them being destructive to
their crops, but on the other hand, am
of the opinion that they would be O
great value to the farmer especially those
that are engaged in the fruit industry II
