Humphrey's district in Paulding county having voted for no fence, the county commissioners; some time last summer levied a tax on the district, for the purpose of enclosing it with a fence. The opponents of the law filed a bill of injunction against the enforcement of the collection of the tax and the case came mp for adjudication in Paulding Superior Court last week before Judge Branham. The Judge held that the tax was unconstitutional nnd granted the injunction.

The Xew Era from which we gather the above says that the case will be carried to the Supreme Court. vention proceeded to business, two hundred and twenty five delegates answering' to their names. The programme was a good one. We had several very good essays on different subjects, by some of our ablest men, among the "horny handed sons of toil." A very able and interesting paper was read by D. Duncan president of the State Agricultural SocietyofSouth Carolina.

His subject was: "Observations of a Cottontot for the past twenty years." The different es- saysand speeches were" too lengthy to undertake anything like a synopsis if we were able. And as the Convention passed a resolution to have 50,000 copies of the proceedings of the meeting published for general distribution, I hope every farmer in Georgia will be able to get a read for himself. I can say the meeting was one of unusual interest. The society decided to hold a fair again this fall in Macon and have secured the fail- grounds at that place for twenty five years. Can not Carroll bring away some of the premiums fall? with scared men.

I could not locate W. O. Perry but suppose he was in safe hands as he seemed to be in fine-spirits, soon.after it was all.over and learned from him that he did not have time to be sick for watching after Sharp and Dimmoek As for myself I was too sick to administer to either. We were about one hour in crossing the and two hours more at 9 r. jr.

we landed back safe at Brunswick; all had gotten over our sick spell, and landed as proud a set of men as you ever saw and I think it was a universal saying that all had enough of Dungencss. In thirty minutes after landing we were all on board the cars and started had a pleasant ride and safe journey, landing at home at 12 M. Saturdav.

Mr. Ward had collected, on Saturday, a large amount of money, and had in his pants- something over two dollars in silver, which ho had brought to town to deposit in a safe.

On the first day of our Convention a committee from the Glynn County Agricultural Club together with the city of Brunswick tendered our Society an excursion down Cumberland Island, distance 40 miles, nptifyingus we would have to cross St.Andrews' and that we would likely if the weather was.bad. Of course we accepted and at 8 A. M.

We started out on Turtle River, sogri passing Fort, St.
