We ore indebted to Mr.. J. D. Evans, depot
agent at Walhalla for the following statement
of certain articles shipped from this depot: In
the year 1879 there were 6l3 bales of cotton
shipped from Walhalia, and in tho year 1880
'991 bales were shipped. There were also
shipped in 1880 4, 900 head of cattle and q, ,27O
fowls. This does not include hogs. corn and
number Of other articles Of produce shipped
from this county. We think with good crop
there will be moro cotton shipped from Wahala
this year, as our merchants have been paying
the highest prices and our market will thus
improve every year.
