Seymour Risks Defeat.


Telegraphic communication was es-
tablished between Jacksonville and
Baldwin. and General Q. A. Gilmore,
Seymour's superior. who was at Jack
sonYille. sent instructions to Seymour
not TO risk a repulse in advancing
upon Lake City. but TO hold Ssnderson
unless there were reasons for falling
back: also in case his advance met
with serious opposition to concentrate
at Sanderson and the south fork of
the St Mary's. On the 18th General
Seymour was further instructed TO
concentrate at Baldwin without delay.
Seymour's column comprised the small
cavalry brigade led by Colonel Henry
and three infantry brigades under Gen
eral J. r. Hawley, Colonel W. B. Bar
ton and Colonel James Montgomery.
Finding that neither Baldwin nor San !
derson was well situated for defense. |
Seymour decided to prsh farther west !
ward and risk battle with what he !
supposed vastly inferior numbers.
In his estimate of the foe Seymour |
was mistaken. for on the day when
Gillmore's instructions reached him
Finegan had approximately 5000 men

nediately began to fortify against the
advancing Federals. Trenches were
lug between the lakes so as to form
continuous line fronting east
Meanwhile Seymour prepared to ad-
'ance despite the circumstances of his
officers. 1t was pointed
mt to him that he would be fifty or
ixty miles from his base at Jackson

FARM :
N0()(',['K 'KY
FREE RANGE FOR CHICKENS
Inhodern Wire Fencing, Which Has
Neat Appearance, Will Keep All
Fowls Out of the Gardens.

The old method of free range need
not necessarily be changed. The
fowls should not, however, De allowed
to run at will within the garden, or
in and about the farm buildings.
Nothing is more aggravaing or dis
Igusting than to have the nice veget-
;ables or beautiful flowers scratched
up, and the doorsteps, the porch, the
barn floor and the farm machines
fouled with poultry droppings. Sep
arate the poultry also from the other
live stock Of the farm.
II the fowls are to be kept near the
farm buildings, provide ample range
inclosed by modern poultry wire fenc-
ing. The latter requires ordinarily
but few posts, is easily put up and
has a very neat appearance when in
position.
Another way of separating the
fowls from the center of farm opera
tions is to place the henhouses at a
considerable distance from the farm
stead, in a pasture where the fowls
will have absolute range. The latter
plan may entail some extra travel by
the poultryman and there is the risk
in some localities of depredations by
foxes, hawks or other wild animals
or by thieves. The young, strong
farmer boy may find advantage in
the second or so-called colony plan"
while the housewife will probably
prefer the fenced inclosure near the
farmhouse.
Thirdly. the farmer is too careless
in the way he disposes of his poultry
products. He is usually content to
trade his eggs at the nearest grocery
store when by little extra effort he
could gain select private trade
which would pay far better. His
pure-bred stock Of one breed OF fowls
q their well-kept house and capacious
grassy yards will be a great adver-
Gssement for his egg products, and
Eliform clean appearance of the eggs
"a their attractive package will prove
an additional help in making sales.
Then, too, in disposing Of his fowls
the farmer often sells the birds alive
when by carefully dressing them on
the farm and selling to his customers
on orders he could secure far better
prices.

During his minia.rys in. Virginia he
rallied around him men who did
much fop, the cause OF Christianity
and the result OF their labors was
seen in that section. He sis q big
man, liberal man, q human man, q
Christian man, and with this he Is q
beautiful speaker.
When DR.. Harms assumed the pres
idency OF NawherEy caiieSSS he %as
the youngest president thatfthe insti-
tuition had eyers had and aipce that
time he has more than Justified the
faith reposed In him by the trustees
OF that college.
Every young mau In Anderson
should hear the message which Or.
Harms will have to deliver when he
comes to this city. It will be we'll
worth hearing in every respect and II
is hoped that he will be greeted here
by an audience worthy OF the speak
