duty OF evoty citizen, whose land
the road runs throdg',, is to give the

not direct, nor disc0vemble to peo-
pie who do not look snch' enters

saleable Steel the cbeapest sort.

A good many mules and few
scrub horses were sold at auction
here on first Monday at an average
price of thirty five or forty dollars.
The best of the mules brought a
little over fifty dollars. No good
stock was offered for sale. Buyers
were scarce and the bidding not
very brisk. Farmers realize that it
doesn't pay to winter cheap stock.
The truth is, it doesn't pay to own
such property at any time, and
when the people have all learned to
appreciate this fact and act accord
ingly, then will their fortunes begin
to increase. Nothing tends more to
enhance the wealth of any country,
aside from fertilizing and enriching
its soil, than improvement of the
live stock. Just as well raise fine
horses and mules, COWS, sheep and
hogs, and sell them at high prices,
as to have scrubs and dispose of
them at what they cost you. Here
is open one of the surest and easiest
avenues to the development of
wealth in Giles county. The rails
ing of stock is VIGOROUSLY one of her
resources-the basis, in
fact, of her prosperity-and the
better the grade of stock raised the
more profitable, of course, will the
business be. And he who takes the
lead in introducing good breeds is
our benefactor. We already have
many such men in the county, and
they are not only making money
but their example eXerts
q good influence in the community.
From what they have done, i'm
provement and advance toward
prosperity have resulted. We need
more and more such men, and more
and more improvement. When an
animal will not sell for what it
cost to raise it, who will contend
that it is profitable property
Scrubs generally bring about the
value of the corn and hay they
have eaten, while the owners Of
blooded stock rarely fail to realize a
handsome profit on the money in
vested in them. The people of
Giles are not too obtuse toappreciate
these facts, and c yet hope to see
this county what nature intended it
to be-one of the best stock produc
ing sections in the United States.
