acre is great. Corn is raised, not
only tor home consumption, but for
sale. The molasses and sugar
manufactured by our farmers equals
any we've ever seen; and it can be
bought for the triting sum of 40cts
per gallon, and sugar at Tets. per
pound. Potatoes and rice are raised
in great quantities and last from one
harvest to another. Nearly every
farm has from twenty to thirty do,
nestle sheep, crossed with the far
famed Spanish merino, and during
the severe winters they are fed on
cotton-seed meal alone, and its re-
suits are beyond imaginatiom |
know of such a flock that are in

year and their only food during the
winter was IL handful of this meal

fed on it, and the milk not only in.

Considerable attention is given to
charcoal, which at present brings

complaining for the want of Il post
office. which they say is necessary
for the Improvement OF their bust
hess. They have made the
sary applications which seem to fail
to draw the attention of the house.
The box at this place polls 40
voters, and surely they should be
able to support a post office. Their
mail reaches them by chance, being
fifteen miles from Ocean Springs,
the nearest Office to them. And in
bad weather it's weeks that they are
without their mail. Wetrust some
one will aid us in obtaining the
Office which is necessary to us all.
