g VIM. d. Hancock, of Wilson county, very
: beautiful sample of sorghum sugar manu-
lfactured by him at his farm, located SIX

t horo' pike. The sugar is OF very even
e CRYSTAL grain, free and dry, and OF rlcf
e color, barely tinged with brown-simllar II
lappearance and quality to New Orlean:
Y sugar, sold at 12H cents in this market: 1t:
e appearance is not only equal to any other

C excellent flavor. MIR. Hancock raised tht
